Certainly wouldn't be a bad idea. Those critical message should no be
there, like not at all. Could be an issue with the gstreamer in
opensuse 11.2 though.

Phonon. Not Phonon Gstreamer. Those are two completely different
components, of which both generate debug output (latter of course
vastly more and former none at all in your case).

That implies that computing systems are self-conscious and intelligent
to the point where they experience urge to grow by assimilating new
knowledge on their own. Makes me wonder about the meaning of our
work...

Do you brush your teeth? ... I suppose you can see where that is going :P

No argument there. But seeing as I know few people who would be
willing to support legacy systems and seeing as the provider of said
system also will stop supporting it in 17 days, I do not think it will
be a terribly good use of time to try making new things work on a
system they were not made for to begin with.

Neither of them plays short sounds in quick succession.
