I tested removing phonon-backen-xine and libxine1-ffmpeg and uninstalling/reinstalling Amarok.

Reinstalling Amarok got me the package phonon-backend-xine, but not libxine1-ffmpeg. Consequently, the sound was not working and Amarok was just skipping through my playlist. After installing libxine1-ffmpeg sound started working again.

I don't know why, but apparently libxine1-ffmpeg is needed (for me, at least) to be able to playback audio, and should be included as a dependency when installing Amarok.

I'm attaching the terminal output for when I tried running a freshly installed instance of Amarok.
