I assume gstreamer was selected as the default engine since it was the
only one able to play MP3, through Fluendo plugin. Since that plugin
will not be available anymore in the next versions of openSUSE I
suppose there is no cause anymore to use gstreamer over xine.

No idea about the plans for the default Phonon backend in KDE4...
neither sure about the KDE3 availability in openSUSE 11.2. But yes, if
kde3-amarok is going to be available in 11.2 it should default to
xine. The last time I checked it was way more realiable than yauap (in
general, gstreamer support in KDE3 apps is bad).
