The fact that GStreamer + Phonon sucks has *nothing* to do with my
acoustic fingerprinting library.

But the sheer amount of kvetching on this list from people who don't
want to install GStreamer because they use xine as their Phonon
backend and don't want to sully the purity of their system by
installing another multimedia framework has gotten so tiresome that I
finally just extended the library so it can use Xine as well -- and
no, I won't just make it depend on Phonon's (currently nonfunctional)
RawAudioDataOutputSink because I don't want the library to be
exclusive to KDE.

So the next time someone here thinks about raising this issue, kindly
just STFU instead.
