Webm will be widely used in youtube in the foreseeable future, now youtube
already have some webm tests. gstreamer-plugins-bad-free provides vp8 codec. So
add a very short life package to rpmfusion is meaningless.

I think this package itself is irrelevant to any phonon backends actually and
should not depends on phonon backends, it's probable minitube can also work
with vlc backend.

rpm -qa|grep phonon
phonon-4.4.2-1.fc13.x86_64
phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.4.2-1.fc13.x86_64

I take a quick look at phonon spec, it seems phonon don't requires xine backend
explicitly, phonon only depends on a virtual provides phonon-backend. The fact
why xine backend is installed by default is its name have a higher priority
over phonon-backend-gstreamer in yum, it seems if we package vlc backend, then
the default backend will be switch to vlc if we don't add phonon-xine-backend
to KDE default comps. Also, I can easily install gstreamer backend by default
to meego in this way to avoid xine backend.
