1 Hi,
2
3 I remember to have accidently started amarok via ssh on my notebook (wrong
4 console window), with DISPLAY on my desktop. This seems to have scrapped
5 phonon-config and/or pulseaudio config on both systems.
6 After having removed these files (.pulse/ and
7 .kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc) on both systems, amarok played my music as
8 expected.
