Phonon is Qt-dependent, so this is not an argument.

Jambi is not an autogenerated wrapper. There's a binding tool, true, but it's 
tweaked so that the end result is proper (it's no more a binding than PyQt, 
Qyoto, and any other Smoke-based bindings). 

There's a lot of Java code in Jambi too that is not generated.

Phonon is also written in C++, so if you want to understand how it works 
internally, you need to read the C++ part of it.

There are two problems with that question.

First and foremost, it's a contradiction in your terms. An *.so file is 
platform-dependent, so you can't use it (see your first argument above, which I 
left quoted). libxine.so is also 324k in size, so it's already more than 10x 
larger than your 20k application, thereby negating your second argument.

As for the second problem, this is the kde-multimedia mailing list. We can 
help you with Phonon, not Xine.

If you want to load the libphonon.so file (515k), remember that it links to 
QtCore (3.1M), QtGui (14M) and QtDBus (510k). So you still need to handle that 
much space.

In other words, Jambi is worth your time.
