[Qt-interest] Phonon - access video frames

Hi!
The "m_videoWidget->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DontShowOnScreen);" trick done  
for WebKit is is a "hidden" work around for Qt since Phonon is lacking  
an API for grabbing frames (at the moment). We don't recommend using  
the same work around for others, as support for this might change  
without notice in a future release.

If what you need is to draw overlay, consider putting your video  
widget inside graphics view instead. It will then act as any other  
graphics item, and it should therefore be easy to add any overlay.
