I want to use what works. The gstreamer-phonon engine has problems that make
Amarok worse to use. Therefore, I don't use it, and use phonon-xine. I also
tellpeople who have issues with the phonon-gstreamer engine to switch to
phonon-xine. I am all for purity of purpose and elegance, but only to the
point where it doesn't impact my ability to actually *use* my computer. Or
listen to music.
