I've seen this in Amarok myself, and I suspect it could actually be at
the Amarok end. It usually happens for me when there is a track
transition (not every time but that's when the error strikes). It seems
to happen more with live streams from e.g. shoutcast etc.

Can you replicate with e.g. mplayer?
