I'm sorry, but I have the impression that Daniel is exaggerating a lot
here. Also, many things have changed, after Daniel gave up on the
thing.

Phonon is now being maintained very well by competent people like
Sandsmark, Apachelogger, and j-b from VLC, and if you talk to them,
any issue could be solved, I'm confident of that. Daniel gave it a
try, and maybe it was the wrong time, or he just gave up too quickly,
but this should not de-motivate you in any way. His failure does in no
way imply that you will fail as well.
