[Qt-interest] "phonon backend plugin could not be loaded"

[KC Jones]

Are the phonon related libraries installed in the correct plugin paths?  Its
not good enough to just put them along side other libs.  I can't point you
to the right doc pages, but they should be somewhere around here:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/deployment-x11.html

On my Mac app, which uses WebKit, which transatively includes phonon, the
libraries are located on a path within my application bundle:

./Contents/Plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_qt7.dylib

Presumably, the important detail for other platforms would be ensuring that
your plugins directory, whatever you call it, is on your plugin search path,
and that the phonon libs be in  a subdirectory named "phonon_backend".  Then
again, I have no experience deploying apps on linux.  Maybe others can weigh
in to verify the details?
