ALSA lib pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library 
/usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_empty.so

I got that line (multiple times) in my .xsession-errors when launching amarok after it crashed with 
multiple error notifications about xine not being able to open the sound device (or something similar).
