OK. Here is a workaround for amarok. Again, beware: I'm not sure what the implications of making this change are; it may well do Bad Things to your system in some way. But since you're running feisty anyway, I guess you're OK with that.

Here's the fix:
- close amarok
- open up ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config
- find the section:

# priority for real decoder
# numeric, default: 0
#engine.decoder_priorities.real:0

change the last line to:
#engine.decoder_priorities.real:10

now try listening to a clip with background sound, and it should work.

I'm not sure what the long-term solution to this is: presumably the priority setting is what it is for a reason...
