[Kde-windows] PHONON on win32

Phonon is the Multimedia API for KDE.

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/kdelibs-apidocs/phonon/html/index.html

I have no time to play with it as much as I want even on Linux, but for win32 
I was thinking about reusing foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) as a 
audio backend. Then at least audio will be available quickly with most 
expected features.

Excuse me if such proposal is already known.

I guess it's important to touch this before the PHONON API is stabilized, so 
possible portability problems can be identifies. If you are interested in this 
topic or if you know anybody that may want to be involved, please answer.

Having even a small part of PHONON API supported on win32 will increase 
quality and appearance of the API as we will be able to avoid ugly #ifdefs 
even for multimedia-related code.
