Phonon 4.4.4
Hi all,
I just updated phonon to 4.4.4 in [testing].
With this release phonon devs splitted out the backends from phonon tarball and there is some major change.
I tested it with KDE 4.6 and everything works, I'd like to know if this version works with KDE 4.5 too, so I can move phonon and the backends in [extra].
Thank you!

Re: Phonon 4.4.4
The fun part is that gstreamer is recommend again and they put even pulse audio in:
Please note that the xine backend is no longer actively maintained and
we strongly advise you to not deploy it as default choice any longer,
but rather switch to gstreamer or vlc.
Also it is highly recommended to ship Phonon in combination with
PulseAudio as it improves user experience WRT default device
selection, per-application volume control in KMix and other
lovelyness.
As result of those 2 the xine backend will not work all that well
without PA on KDE 4.6. In particular I have been told that it will try
to get exclusive device access for one reason or another.
