Sorry for that. By re-reading my answer I over reacted. KDE on Windows
is a subject that interest me highly.

I understand that. I ask this question since I would like to test my
backends with a complete media application, not just my small tests.
I have a laptop with a small hard drive and for many reasons, even if
I have been using Linux for years, I spend much of my time developing
under Windows XP.
Do you know if DragonPlayer has been reported working under KDE Windows?
I plan to switch SMPlayer to Phonon, but it is a lot of work...
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/
SMPlayer is a pure Qt app and it's gaining popularity over VLC under
Windows. The goals of SMPlayer are in opposition to DragonPlayer. It
has a lot of advanced features while (from what I read) Dragon Player
wants to stay a simple KDE integrated media player "that works out of
the box". So there is definitly space for both.
