 -----------------------------
 
 If Amarok does not play anything, you hear no sound or it skips through songs,
-you are probably using Phonon GStreamer backend. To fix this either:
+try switching Phonon backend. VLC backend (phonon-backend-vlc) is recommended
+at the moment.  GStreamer backend (phonon-backend-gstreamer) is also in good
+condition while Xine backend (phonon-backend-xine) might cause problems in some
+setups. In order to switch backend, do the following:
 
-1) Install phonon-backend-xine package and remove
-   phonon-backend-gstreamer package (with your favourite apt package manager).
+1) Install phonon-backend-{backend_name} package.
 
-2) Install phonon-backend-xine package and make sure Xine backend is preferred
-   to GStreamer. To do the latter, go to `[ Menu ] Settings -> Configure Amarok
-   -> Playback -> [ Sound system configuration ] Configure -> [ Tab ] Backend`
-   and move Xine to the top of the list.
-
-Finally, restart Amarok. See [1] for more information.

-1. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538767
+2) Make sure that the backend is preferred by KDE multimedia subsystem. In
+   Amarok, go to `[ Menu ] Settings -> Configure Amarok -> Playback ->
+   [ Sound system configuration ] Configure -> [ Tab ] Backend` and move your
+   preferred backend to the top of the list.
 
+3) Finally, restart Amarok.

-Make sure that the package libxine1-ffmpeg is installed.
+If you are using Xine backend, make sure that the package libxine1-ffmpeg is
+installed.
