That would be awesome. At least xine seems to currently be the most feature complete one - e.g. both vlc and gstreamer backends don't seem to offer equalizer.
And since vlc is tricky to include in the distro, and I don't trust gstreamer to not be a nightmare on all kinds of levels, it would be just great if someone would step up and maintain the phonon xine backend imho.
I didn't realise the task I took on when I innocently set about updating xine-ui. So far the clean up of xine-lib has taken me to adding libdvdnav-devel and getting dvdnav and dvdread to build pkg-config .pc files, I don't know where libxine got it's dvd capabilities from if it had any because the xines need either .pcs or explicit environment variables input to find libraries. Still got to get the codecs and other legal pitfalls fixed and maybe next week sometime there will be a shiny working xine-lib which might fix the phonon-backend-xine problem, phonon seems ok. gstreamer needs attention as a whole in order to get it to build properly, I've noticed how it breaks frequently if somebody makes a slight change so I leave it alone.
