Would you consider using Rhythmbox for radio streams (gstreamer)? They work
brilliantly 'out of the box' in SUSE whereas I never tried streams in AmaroK
(I am not sure version 1.2.1 even has them). As suggested already, codecs
and engines may help. In AmaroK, for example Helix does not seem to support
crossfading whereas aNode does. So it's worth exploring.
