Nope, not implemented yet, and the problem is not so much in the
phonon backend vlc but in libvlc which lacks it:

--- Comment #1 from Martin Sandsmark <martin.sandsmark at kde.org> ---
the problem is that we use sout for getting audio data.

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6992

maybe we could instead make our own vlc module (for example a "visualization"
module) that just dumps the data to us.

So there is a big chunk of stuff missing in libvlc compared to the
gstreamer libraries, and since development of libvlc upstream at VLC
is not exactly fast I wouldn't count on this any time soon.

Also since the phonon-backend gstreamer is currently unmaintained I
wouldn't count on anyone to write stuff for you, AFAIK there currently
is only one developer in Phonon who works on Phonon 5 and the vlc
backend maintenance.
