Haha. So the major 'advantage' of Phonon that it would allow replacing
the backends as time progresses without breaking the KDE apps using
them now officially is proven to be bogus. The KDE/Qt folks were so
afraid of a media engine breaking API so that they created their
abstraction thing and now break API of that one more often then the
media engines themselves do.

Do I hear an "I told you so!"?

Abstractionitis is an illness, not a remedy.
