FYI, KDE Games in KDE 4.9 development is progressively switching to a new KgSound class in libkdegames. This class uses OpenAL and libsndfile, if the latter is found in a version that can load .ogg files, otherwise KgSound falls back to Phonon (but there has been a history of problems with Phonon playing short sounds in time with game actions).
In port kdegames4 @4.8.1, I think only KGoldrunner and Granatier are using OpenAL, but some other games have had performance problems reported re the latest Phonon and GStreamer backend (e.g. heavy CPU usage and slow response). OpenAL is definitely the weapon of choice if you want to have sounds in KDE Games.
