That's basically right. Phonon is just a wrapper around some decoding
library. So on Linux, you can wrap around GStreamer or Xine. On Windows,
you wrap around DirectShow. On Mac, you wrap around QuickTime.

The idea is that Phonon does not have any functionality to play a video,
instead it provides a common API for accessing the best available
library, which varies from platform to platform. So as a result, it
sucks at least as much as the available library in terms of support, not
less.
