Exactly.

Yes. The defaults (global configuration) should be good enough for most 
programs, but if needed more flexibility will be available. In some cases the 
configuration widgets will be provided by the backend as the options can be 
very backend dependent.

Something along the lines of:

ConfigDialog::ConfigDialog( Phonon::AudioOutput* ao, QWidget* parent )
  : KDialog( parent )
{
  setupUi( this );
  if( Phonon::BackendCapabilities::self()->hasConfigWidgetFor( ao ) )
    Phonon::Ui::WidgetFactory::createWidgetFor( ao, m_frame );
}

BTW, do you hate the additional Ui namespace as much as I hate it by now? It 
has the nice effect of clearly telling what lib needs to be linked...

Yeah, solvable doesn't mean it's easy, though :(
