as a user, I don't have much interest in installing phonon-gstreamer, phonon-
pa, and phonon-yetanothersounddaemon just to get phonon-xine (the one that 
works on my laptop). in fact, anything that depends on PA I would like to 
avoid (k, maybe I'm paranoid).
so maybe a package per backend is good. :) like how xorg has a package per 
driver.
