Actually, that's not quite true, I just filed a defect report on the
trolltech site.

When you configure Qt with phonon, then you end up with a qtconfig that
links with gstreamer to provide the phonon-tab, which is a packager
nightmare, since you end up with your main qt package requiring lots of
shit, instead of having stuff nicely segregated in plugins, like happens
with the database stuff.
