** Description changed:

- 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.
+ [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.
