This is the show-stopper issue for us in games and kde-edu. KTuberling 
can be used to reproduce it if you need a test case. I would like to 
help with Phonon debugging, but I am not sure how my skills could be 
used. Where would be a good place to coordinate this effort? Also, is 
the avkode backend still in development or in consideration for 4.0, as 
it could potentially solve some xine-lib issues?
