From what I can tell, nothing in BLFS uses phonon-backend-gstreamer

practical impact?
Is there something that someone might want that's not available in the
vlc backend?
Not really. The vlc-backend provides everything the gstreamer-backend does.
The vlc-backend is also the preferred now, meaning if both are installed
phonon will use vlc. AFAIK gstreamer-backend is just another option for ppl
who prefer gstreamer for whatever reason...
We can always re-add the gstreamer backend to blfs once it supports
gstreamer-1.x...
Looking at my logs, it installs 1 .desktop file, 5 .png files, 1 .svgz
file and the .so plugin.
These backends are only used by phonon. All apps link to phonon and not to the
backend libraries...
OK, I'll comment out gstreamer-0 and phonon-backend-gstreamer for now.
We can move to the archive later.
