The EQ was always disabled in my xmms

No. Nothing special. But i suppose the amarok sound is buggy, not the xmms
sound.

When i change songs, the player stucks for some milliseconds, although i

Thats a pitty. An Music Brains-enabled xmms with CD-Cover support and a nice

Probably not detectable with standard PC-Speakers. But you hear the
difference clearly while comparing both players.
