I'm temporarily working on my netbook, while my laptop is away for repair.  
This netbook has the same amarok version, and plays continuously.  Whatever 
the problem is, it is a difference in the settings of the two installations, I 
assume.  Any ideas what I should look for?

The less good news is that after installing the vlc backend for phonon my 
external speaker card is recognised and the speaker test works, but amarok 
doesn't use it - and when I go back to the systemsettings phonon screen it has 
been reset to internal audio.  If anyone has thoughts on this I'd like to 
hear, please
