The VLC backend is still quite buggy.  Fades don't work and it's very 
slow when seeking.  Automatically playing the next song in the list is 
also broken.

Try the GStreamer backend instead.  It's also not as good as the Xine 
backend, but still somewhat better than the VLC one.  I'm astounded 
though as to why KDE drops the best backend and keeps two broken ones. 
Really stupid decisions going on lately in KDE camp.
