[Python-modules-team] Bug#506979: Bug#506979: python-qt4: Please package with Phonon

[Christoph Burgmer]

I had to install python-sip4_4.7.9-1_i386.deb to actually make it work. Before 
that my whole python-qt4 installation was broken, should be so for others too.

Now, when I follow simple steps:

    from PyQt4.phonon import Phonon
    mediaObject = Phonon.createPlayer(Phonon.NotificationCategory,
        Phonon.MediaSource("local.mp3"))
    mediaObject.play()

I get the following lines on stdout:

Phonon::KdePlatformPlugin::createBackend: using backend:  "GStreamer"

I don't get any actual sound output. It seems like Phonon is probing all 
available sound cards and failing.

And indeed qtconfig-qt4 is grayed out in the Phonon configuration section and 
says "Phonon GStreamer backend is not available".

KDE Phonon though works, is that a packaging problem? Do I need other packages 
installed?

Should I open a new bug report?

Please CC me in replies.
