[Impact]
Whenever an application that uses Phonon also uses a webkit that uses 
gstreamer, webkit will install its own webkit based http source. This source is 
then expoed to Phonon which tries to set a user-agent on it, which is not 
supported and the webkit source decides that it does not want to work when 
someone tries to do that. As a result http streaming is broken in any such 
setup.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310763

[Test Case]
* Install tomahawk and phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.6.2
* Activate a couple of http resolvers (e.g. soundcloud and youtube)
* Search for random tracks and try to play ones coming from resolvers
* Obesrve that streaming does not work a lot of times (not always).

[Regression Potential]
The proposed fix disables user-agent setting if the source has no user-agent 
property, so there is no regression potential as there would not be a phonon 
user-agent set at any rate.

-- Original Report ----------------------------------
I was trying to use tomahawk from https://launchpad.net/~tomahawk/+archive/ppa 
using phonon and phonon-backend-gstreamer. Unfortunately that didn't work with 
the audio sources in tomahawk that are streamed over HTTP. According to users 
in the tomahawk IRC channel this issue is in phonon-backend-gstreamer, as the 
phonon-backend-vlc works fine.
