It's possible that the link to the configuration dialog was added for
2.1.  Try opening systemsettings (that's the name of the executable) and
go to Multimedia.  Then click the Backend tab.  If you don't have xine,
you'll need to install the phonon-xine package (I think that's the
name).  You might also want to try removing a phonon-pulseaudio package,
if you find one.
