What's wrong? which phonon backends do you have installed ? /Sune About the phonon backend error, see the discussion here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11070 Sune, I don't know if you'd consider this a problem with the Qt or phonon packages, but it seems that by default Qt applications look for the phonon plugins under /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/. However, Debian installs them under /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/. startkde takes care of that by setting the QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment var. Something in there also causes ~/.config/Trolltech.conf to update the 4.4\libraryPath entry. Unfortunately, there's two problems with this: 1. If a person hasn't run a KDE4 session at least once, Qt doesn't know where to find phonon's plugins. 2. For some reason the 4.4\libraryPath entry is getting flooded with repetitions. A new pair appears each time a KDE4 session starts. John Stamp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: libqt4-dev Version: 4.4.0-4 Severity: wishlist Hi, while Phonon support is one of the major new enhancements in Qt 4.4 it is disabled in the Debian package. Thus it turns Qt 4.4 in Debian a little incomplete and in effect incompatible with packages on different platforms. So, could you please enable it?

Qt4.4 ships phonon 4.1, but phonon is a extra thing that has seperate releases as well. Phonon is in debian provided by the phonon source package, that builds libphonon4 and libphonon-dev. The version provided here is phonon 4.2, which is required by kde4.1. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Sune, what does it mean after all? As far as I can tell the Qt4.4 interface is not working. Actually, I don't even know whether it is an interface or if Phonon is just bundled with Qt 4.4. At least, Qt and Phonon don't play together as they should according to the Qt docs, e.g. the example applications won't build. Qt applications are supposed to build on many platforms without modification of the source code. They won't on Debian if Phonon is involved. So how am I supposed to use phonon in Qt applications on Debian? Similar discussions can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/253854 and here: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-June/002501.html Seems like it's not only a Debian specific problem. But maybe there should be mention in something like README.Debian or README.Phonon 1. that Phonon is disabled 2. how you can build Qt/Phonon applications (there's NO docs in /usr/share/doc/libphonon* and Qt's Phonon docs don't work) Kind regards, Felix Sune Vuorela wrote: Hi!
