I have tested it again. Even if I remember using Amarok with
Phonon->Gstreamer at some time, right know neither Dragon Player nor
Amarok are able to play some media when using the Gstreamer Phonon
backend. That same media plays with "gst-launch playbin
uri=file://<path>", so isn't a problem with GStreamer but with the
backend.
I have even found a wav that with the Xine backend always works but
with the GStreamer one works in Dragon but not in Amarok ¿?

So... yes sure, Xine.
