I think so. Phonon has been designed to have multiple backends so that 
anyone can use the one that works better for him. So the developers can do.
Moreover DS9 is the default one for Qt on Windows, so I think totally 
removing isn't good.

I personally prefer choice. For example VLC has its own advantages: at 
the moment works better than DS9 for me, needs less CPU, has a good 
community, doesn't need for additional codecs and so on.

That makes sense. I can see nothing wrong if someone makes Phonon-DS9 
working on his own, that doesn't mean that Phonon-VLC or 
Phonon-something can't work too.
