I have committed a new phonon_export.h and a phonon.pro file as well. Can you 
test that? (Together with
% sed -i\~ 's,"\(.*\)\.moc","moc_\1.cpp",' *.cpp
)

All files that are in kcm/ and platform_kde/ are specific to KDE. Everything 
else should be platform-independent (well, I have KDE deps in some test 
code).

Yes, something went wrong with the macros needed to define PHONON_EXPORT as 
Q_DECL_EXPORT instead of Q_DECL_IMPORT. But it seems to be working now.

I can move this to the platform plugin or we put it in the backend. The idea 
here is that every AudioOutput object creates an interface on the DBus so 
that a mixer application can get the category, name and get/set the 
volume/mute properties. I certainly want to have it for KDE. Is this 
functionality wanted on any other platform?

These files should move together with the functionality above.

should be KDE headers dependency free now

regarding the use of QDBus: The DBus signal is used to notify Phonon 
applications when the user selected a different backend. Then all apps switch 
the backend. Is this functionality interesting for any other platform except 
Linux?
