Thanks for the link... seems that the phonon-vlc project has been 
sleeping for 6 months or more now:

http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-lukas.git;a=history;f=projects/phonon/vlc;hb=HEAD

If the video world is ever going to go "cross platform" - they are going 
to need a backend like VLC that
works equally well with the same video formats on different platforms...
