Shouldn't be necessary.

The latest version (0.8.2) should be fine for all distributions.
It can be built with phonon >= 4.7.0, 13.1 has phonon 4.7.1 already (in the
update repo).

I'd suggest putting it into Essentials (like vlc), as it is used for sound
output in basically all KDE4 applications and the desktop itself, for
notification sounds e.g.

Oh, and while we're at it, phonon4qt5-backend-vlc for Plasma5 and KF5 apps
would be nice as well (for 13.2 and up)... ;-)
