However, according to Geoffrey's feedback, he has:

1) disabled PulseAudio autospawn;
2) killed PulseAudio;
3) restarted Amarok;
4) reproduced the symptoms.

I'd like feedback from other people experiencing the symptom described in
the bug's description. Please try the four steps that I just described.

Then, while Amarok is running (after restarting it), please check the
output from `sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*'.

It should be fairly clear that PulseAudio is not the culprit if the
symptom is reliably reproducible after the procedure is followed and
PulseAudio has been verified not to be running.
