Yes, thanks for confirming this. Probably its ongoing maintenance is
related to its use by audiocd kioslave.

So I should probably decide between the KsCD kcddb+Phonon+Solid route,
or Amarok's audiocd://+Phonon+Solid. It would be problematic to deal
with KCompactDisc's internal use of Phonon when I have Phonon setup
already.
