Git commit d13bd61842627ffb2382b5d59a020ea7a5124ca5 by Mark Kretschmann.
Committed on 08/05/2013 at 12:29.
Pushed by markey into branch 'master'.

Fix crashes on track change (both with Phonon-GStreamer and Phonon-VLC).

What happened:

The Wikipedia applet uses QtWebKit for HTML rendering. On
Linux, QtWebKit uses GStreamer for media playback. Turns out that this cras=
hes
with a high probability whenever an <audio> tag is present on a web page. As
music artists' pages often contain audio snippets in Vorbis format, it cras=
hed
a lot when Amarok's applet rendered a page.

The fix:

Removing all audio tags from Wikipedia pages before rendering them in our a=
pplet.
Of course, the real fix would have to be done upstream. But until that happ=
ens, our
workaround here fixes a shitload of crashes.

We might want to do a 2.7.1 release for Linux, with this patch.
