I misread his post - I though he wanted to know how to disable mysqle (he'd 
figured that out already), then my train of though went off into other (even 
wronger) directions with embedded vs non-embedded mysql for amarok.

Meanwhile I compared by flags to yours and tried rebuilding mysql with 
-community -berkdb then rebuilding Amarok. This didn't change anything.
