A bit of context first: Phonon is used by KDE and KDE programs to play system sounds and audio files ( mp3, wav, ogg ). It has different backends through which it does this. Supported backends on most Unix-like systems are xine, GStreamer, VLC and MPlayer.
The problem right now in Frugalware is that when installing kde there is no default backend present and none of the following are installed: phonon-backend-gstreamer phonon-backend-vlc phonon-backend-xine This in turn causes phonon to not work and fail when KDE or KDE apps try to play sound through it. One unfortunate side effect of this is bug FS#4423 where shutdown and restart fail in KDE because of this. A default backend must be present for phonon to work and I've chosen the xine one as it was the first one on Unix and is more stable. Added it asa rodepends to avoid a circular dependency issue. Attached is the git patch. P.S. Michel I apologize for cc-ing you but I thought it might be of interest as we've talked about this before.
