you may not get much a reply without some more information: * is there some underlying reason why there is no interest in maintaining Phonon GStreamer? e.g. is there a GStreamer annoyance that needs to be known about / taken into consideration? * what are the real-world ramifications of not having GStreamer support? which platforms might suffer due to a lack of integration / codec support / etc as a result? * what effort is currently required to support Phonon GStreamer? Is it stable and needing continued testing and bug fixing maintenance; is it need of more major surgery; is the big work ahead a port to Qt5 or a change in Phonon? -- Aaron J. Seigo
