Uh, I've just read this and I see it is getting warmer :)

I wanted widget to have full control and for example capture mouse 
events. Of course, we can propose workaround. For example, dragging 
subtitles around: redirect some events or change subtitles positions in 
realtime...
Simply, I (we!) have to make a choice - Phonon back-end or external widget.

Phonon:
+ one to rule them all
- loss of control

Widget:
+ more control
+ could be used without Phonon
+ it was the first idea :)
- another universal library (in Phonon mean)


add more, correct if I'm wrong :)
