Not that object to removing things, but I am curious why? Is Phonon dead?

Phonon is deprecated within Qt (but still lives a life on its own as part of the KDE project). It also never worked properly for QtWebKit and noone is maintaining the current code.

Our current path is using GStreamer directly on Linux, Quicktime on Mac (and Windows if available). For other cases we will be using QtMultimedia. This provides a better experience for our users and GStreamer is already the backend we are using on the Nokia N9.

K_? Sounds like some KDE thing, not related to Phonon?

May be, I'll remove it then.
