If the bug is reported against testing, but not marked as fixed, it's probably still present in the unstable version.

I think most of Amarok's problems stem from libxine. Xine hangs sometimes when it gets a stream or a file it doesn't like. Of course, it would be nice if Amarok could gracefully handle situations like this. In the future, Amarok2 will use GStreamer. Until then, use the latest versions of Amarok and libxine, and if it happens repeatedly, see if you can figure out with which streams and/or files.
