Using Gstreamer W/amarok

hello,
I've installed openSUSE 10.3 w/gnome and am using Amarok to play music. My Mp3's play fine w/xine engine but when playing CD's i get constant drop out and can see constant harddrive activity while cd plays. The playlist for the cd takes forever to load. I tried switching to Yaup engine but that didnt help.Someone had suggested switching to gstreamer engine but I dont have that option in amarok. I tried looking in YAST and it says gstreamer is installed. I looked for an amarok-gstreamer plugin but i get no results. I looked online in packages.opensuse-community.org but also got no results. Does anyone have gstreamer engine working in Amarok and could u explain how u got it installed.
thanx

In KDE, I am getting flawless results with the Xine engine installed. I have not run Amarok in openSUSE GNOME, but I know Xine works in KDE. Try that one and see if it works for you. Remember that you might have the best success with the Packman versions. Good luck.

thanx but i uninstalled stock amarok and reinstalled amarok from packman repo but w/same result. only engine choice is xine and when i play cd it takes 4-5 minutes to populate the playlist and then there is constant drop out and constant disk activity. Has anyone got amarok playing on gnome and under xine? Would like to find out what is causing the playlist to take so long to poulate cause for some reason I think that is at heart of problem....
