Hello Benjamin.

The Mingw compiler and headers are not recent enough to compile the 
DirectShow code present in the Phonon DS9 backend.

You need to use MSVC to compile the Phonon library. But that then means 
it's not compatible with the MinGW compiler that Qt Creator uses.

Unfortunately, there's very little we can do. The MinGW folks are 
reluctant to upgrade their bundled headers.
