-------------------------------+--------------------------------
After starting amarok, the program gives the following warning
{{{
Phonon claims it cannot play mp3 files. You may want to examine the
installation of the backend that phonon uses.
}}}
In reality, amarok won't play any audio file (wav, ogg, etc... )
Starting amarok with debug options shows the following warnings
{{{

After searching in my system for "phonon", I couldn't find any phonon
backend. Specially, there is no trace of phonon-qt7 or any other backend.
Since qt4-mac is now configured with -no-phonon and -no-phonon-backend,
one would probably need to install the backend separately.
Can a port for phonon-qt7 be created? (Eventually, if it works it would be
nice to also have phonon-vlc and phonon-gstreamer).
Should the backends eventually be variants of phonon itself?
