Hmm, seems like the video data output stuff has been broken. I remember looking 
into this with the Xine backend some time ago, but I don't remember my 
conclusion... :<
I'll check out quasar myself, and try to get it working, and maybe fix the 
Phonon unit tests, so we can discover stuff like this earlier in the future.

That shouldn't be happening. :-)
(There shouldn't be any special steps involved in building and installing 
Phonon, except for distro-specific quirks, I guess.)

Do you have a backtrace?

Your english is much better than mine, I think, so nothing to excuse yourself 
for ;-)
