For what its worth, I figured out that the problem was related to how the music data was stored. The music was being kept on an ext3-formated second partition of the SD card. Despite having the correct references in fstab and Qtopia's Storage.conf, the data was not being read correctly. I could, however, play the music through gstreamer directly and using madplay. When I changed to a single partition, fat-formatted data store everything magically worked. I have not done any additional testing to see whether it was the partitioning or formatting, but I could if anyone is interested.
