Hi Dapuzz,

Altough I'm not a (kde) Windows developer I do think you are trying to achieve 
something impossible. Xine doesn't exist on the windows platform for a 
reason, it's api is completely different.

Instead of getting Xine running on windows (and this is where Phonon comes in) 
their should be some effort made on a Phonon Backend that call's the 
DirectShow/DirectX API of Windows directly.

That would enable true audio and multimedia support in Windows.

Another temporary solution would be to use Phonon's gstreamer backend on 
windows (as gstreamer has pretty good support for windows).

Good luck,
Nielsvm
