The Phonon backends will try to open your files using the codecs  
already present on your OS. So if you have your own algorithm for  
decoding media that you would like to use with Phonon, you would need  
to create a codec for the OS instead. There is no API for writing a  
'plugin' for decoding media in Phonon.
