Haha. So the major 'advantage' of Phonon that it would allow replacing the backends as time progresses without breaking the KDE apps using them now officially is proven to be bogus. The KDE/Qt folks were so afraid of a media engine breaking API so that they created their abstraction thing and now break API of that one more often then the media engines themselves do. Do I hear an "I told you so!"? Abstractionitis is an illness, not a remedy.
