I have the same situation in 2.2.1.

In Ubuntu/Kubuntu, phonon-related files installed are:

phonon-backend-xine, version 4:4.3.1-4ubuntu1
libqt4-phonon, version 4.5.3really4.5.2-0ubuntu1
python-qt4, version 4.6-1

All are the latest available with Kubuntu backports installed. Any suggestions?

Why in the heck do they not allow copy/paste from Synaptic? Geez!
