QtMultimediaKit or QtMultimedia doesnt depend on phonon. The backend for 
them on Linux is GStreamer.
If you have gstreamer installed and still not able to play, test that 
gstreamer plugins required for your media are installed.
To test that, you can try playing your media in Totem, it has plugin 
discovery built in. If it plays problem is with your Qt Build (if you 
built Qt yourself) or your qt code. If doesn't play it will tell you 
which  plugins to install.
