I am currently on a binary package based system so I did:
# pkg install phonon-gstreamer gstreamer1-plugins-all
# pkg delete -f phonon-vlc
(or is important as the `pkg install` step will reinstall phonon-vlc if it is 
not present).

This fixes the crash for me however phonon-gstreamer does not play any audio 
(although gstreamer does).

Have you tried installing gstreamer1-plugins-flac?  This should add flac 
support to gstreamer for you.  I would prefer the gstreamer option except I 
cannot actually get phonon-gstreamer to work for me :-(.
