I am developing a PyQt app (uRSSus, it's in AUR, too ;-) and would like to use phonon in it. Is there a reason why phonon is disabled in Qt and PyQt?

I remember reading that the Phonon in Qt 4.5 is incompatible with the Phonon in KDE4.2.

Hmm.. I uploaded a package in AUR, pyqt-phonon, some time ago. I patched the configure.py file, so it detects phonon. Here is the link: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19554

My player, written in PyQt with Phonon, works perfectly in KDE 4.2.1 with Qt 4.5.0.

IIRC rationale was that Phonon in Qt 4.4 was still too buggy while KDE4 Phonon worked better. And since Phonon is basically a KDE tech imported into Qt, the Qt version might always be a bit behind?
KDE's Phonon is an extra package, with no dependencies on KDE.. so maybe one could use KDE's Phonon with bindings from PyKDE4 even for plain PyQt apps?

There's a discussion about Arch and Phonon that starts here:

Hmm. but my package just builds PyQt4 with support for the phonon library installed in the system, thats is, in the case of Arch, the KDE's Phonon.

But kdebindings-python doesn't seem to include phonon either.

Yes, it's in PyKDE4.phonon

Right, missed it!
