Good news, everyone!

Well first bad news: I had to revert my fixes in Amarok, because they
broke Phonon-GStreamer.

Now the good news: After much detective work we figured out what was
wrong in Phonon-VLC, and now Ben Cooksley managed to really fix it in
the backend, so that we don't need any changes in Amarok itself.

The magical commit is here:

Now we still have some minor issues left in Phonon-VLC (e.g. volume
setting is a bit wonky), but mostly it can now be used without major
problems :)
