As with all the most confusing bugs the fix turned out to be trivial.
Not sure if it will introduce other potential problems tho', so would
appreciate feedback before I commit it upstream.

I've created a Mandriva cooker pacakge and as gstreamer is our default
backend I'll hopefully know fairly quickly if it's introduced a problem!!

Patch can be found here:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/phonon/current/SOURCES/phonon-4.3.80-fix-gstreamer-pulseaudio-deadlock.patch?revision=491078&view=markup

Please let me know how you get on.
