I think you misunderstood me. IMHO, Phonon is mostly for making the life 
easier for developers. Want to play multimedia in your application? 5 lines of 
code, shazam.

I use plenty of non-phonon applications, and everything "just works", without 
Pulseaudio ;-)

I mean, Pulseaudio is probably terrific if you want to stream sound from 
random applications (that happen to work with pulseaudio) over the network, 
but that's relevant to a minimal amount of the users out there. For the rest, 
it's just a huge hassle, consuming resources, adding complexity and 
introducing new bugs, for no good reason at all.
