Hello list,

I emerged KDE-4.2 (RC first, final now) and Phonon wasn't getting any
backend. No video, no sound.

After recompiling KDE-4.2 with -kdeprefix, I see both Xine and
Gstreamer listed as backends.

Hmm. I also don't have a list of back-ends. But sound works. I noticed that media-sound/phonon-4.3.0 installs files in /usr/lib/kde4/ instead of /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4/ (which would be the correct location with kdeprefix I guess.)

Try linking /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4/ to /usr/lib/kde4/ and see if that works?

  cd /usr/lib
  mv kde4 kde4-backup
  ln -s /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4 kde4

Then re-emerge media-sound/phonon and restart X. I have this setup and sound is working, but as I said, no back-ends are listed. I'm on OSS4 though, not ALSA, maybe this has something to do with it.
