So, apparently in openSUSE, no part of sound system in KDE that depends on some phonon backend being installed forces any to be installed. :-(
IIRC phonon-backend-gstreamer is a part of a pattern, and libphonon4 recommends virtual phonon-backend package. Just note that currently in 13.1/Factory, only working backend is vlc's.

From the list of available kde patterns, it's not obvious which if any provides a minimal KDE environment. I've never figured out if there is a way using zypper to get a useful pattern package description. If I knew of one I'd be using it. I don't suppose anyone can tell me why if I zypper in Factory's 0.6.2 only it, libvlc5 and libvlccore5 will be installed, but if I want Packman's (0.6.0), 39 packages will be installed (almost same result as 'zypper in vlc', which will install 38, of which phonon-backend-vlc is conspicuously absent), can anyone? Since I want Packman's vlc anyway, but just haven't gotten around to it yet on 13.1 because of $SUBJECT, I'm puzzled what I should do next. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
