All the qt4 dependencies are really required, even phonon, as you can
configure your Qt-related phonon settings via qtconfig.

If you don't want GStreamer, you can use multimedia/phonon instead of
qt4-phonon and choose another backend (such as vlc, or xine, even though
the latter is not actively maintained anymore), or even try not having
any backend at all (ie just install multimedia/phonon).
