Pops/Clicks with Amarok -> gstreamer0.10 -> alsasink

Hello, I am getting pops and clicks with at start of songs with Amarok. I think I have
narrowed it down to a problem with gstreamer0.10.

This is a fresh install system using XFCE and alsa. No pulseaudio and no Jack.

At the start of each sonng there is a noticeable crack/pop sound then the
music plays normal. If I click next song the next song starts with another crack/pop.

If I listen to the same songs using mpg123 or mplayer there are are no audible clicks
or pops.

Testing gstreamer:

$ gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink 

plays sample sound perfect.

$ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="test.mp3" ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink

hear a pop/click then plays the song.

$ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="test.mp3" ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink

interesting enough no pops or click when set to auto select correct codec.

Unsure if this is a bug or config issue any suggestions?
