you can exclude kajongg from that list. The phonon code is commented.
I considered porting KgSound to Python but there is no python-openal
binding available which is both actively maintained and installable as
debian package. Kajongg starts subprocesses with ogg123 - this is
fast enough.

of course python bindings for KgSound could be done but that would
be the first part for kajongg not being written in python and I would
probably have to write and maintain them myself.
