Thanks for reporting this bug, Adam. It turns out that it was just recently reported to the Amarok devs on their mailing list too[1], so they talked about it a bit there. The bug appears to be one in the phonon backends, specifically the gstreamer backend. Try switching to the xine backend, which seems to work better anyway. It's the one that Amarok devs recommend.
For a more long-term solution, we need a new version of Phonon pulled into Ubuntu 10.04, which should be happening automatically anyway. The bugfix was included there, and the patch was committed to SVN on 2009-06-18 [2]. To ensure that this happens smoothly, please give one of the later lucid alphas a shot (live CD should be fine) and see if the bug is still around then.
