i have gstreamer and xine backend and everything is working well. the
problem is the too old xine-lib version. the 1.1.12 isn't enough for
the new phonon while the 1.1.15 (required by phonon) isn't working
with the old 1.4.9. so you'll have either the old amarok and no phonon
based apps accessing xine or you have the phonon work and the old
amarok not working. also you cannot have started both amarok 1.4 and
phonon and hope that phonon apps can access the audio device (the 1.4
directly locks it before phonon does it and phonon wouldn't be able to
lock it instead).
