phonon-gstreamer upstream candidate patches

[Helio Chissini de Castro]

Hi Jens and kde multimedia people

We're shipping gstreamer as default phonon backend at Mandriva and we have 
three patches that are candidate to upstream, none distro specific, the missing 
plugin one could have some help if any of you could take a look..

Detailing:
- phonon-4.3.1-set-glib-applications ->  set the real name application in the 
glib loop. This is 100% safe and lead to servers like pulseaudio show the 
application real name volume slider. 
Was done by coling at mandriva.org

- phonon-4.3.1-stream-extract-metadata.patch -> extract the stream data for 
present in programs like amarok, or xmms. In case of radio streams, song name 
change often, and with stock  phonon-gstreamer, just the first song name is 
shown and get stucked forever.
Was done by coling at mandriva.org

-  phonon-4.3.1-plugin-api -> gstreamer itself enables the capability to be 
compiled with a helper for install third party plugins, using a standard api 
and not need any command or any specific application. Distros can choose which 
helper app will use without need of change base code ( for example, Mandriva 
is using Codeina ). 
For compile, i added a define on CMake turned on by default for now that 
enables the api be compiled.
What current code lacks is a proper user notification that a plugin install 
helper will appears. I didn't found a best way to explicit tell user at exact 
moment when async dialog is called.
This was done by me.

Thanks in advance and appreciate any input.
