There is a VLC backend for phonon in the works. You can find more 
information about it here:
http://code.google.com/p/phonon-vlc-mplayer/
I have tried it a while ago, and it works quite well. 

As for whether Trolltech plans to package it with their official releases, I 
have no idea. However I believe that the backends are themselves a Qt 
plugin, and phonon all looks for all backend plugins in 
APPDIR/phonon_backends (or something similar). That is very useful if you 
want to distribute binaries.
