Bug Description
kubuntu version: 12.04.1 LTS
amarok version: 2:2.5.0-0ubuntu6
phonon-
I set the playlist Track Progression to Standard. I expect playback to go through the playlist and then stop when the end of the last song is reached. What happens instead is that the playlist starts playing again from the start. It never stops playing until I press the Stop button.
I have noticed this only happens with Ogg Vorbis files. When I play MP3 or FLAC files, the playlist does not loop. Unfortunately, most of my audio files are Ogg Vorbis files.
A workaround is to right-click on the last song in the playlist, and select Stop Playing After This Track. This is tedious and I often forget to do it.
This bug was reported to KDE (#300884). It was noted by other users that it only happened with the GStreamer backend. It is reportedly fixed in Amarok 2.6.0 + Phonon GStreamer 4.6.1.
Can the fix be backported to precise?

My playlist keeps repeating (starting from the top) after the last song finished playing even though track progression is set to default and dynamic playlist mode is not active. This also happens with a fresh amarok profile. If I remember correctly, it started happening with 2.5 and is still happening with current git. I can try a git bisect if the part of the debug log that I get when the playlist finishes (in this case with only 1 song in it) isn't enough information.
Reproducible: Always
