I've verified that it works when downgrading libphonon4 and phonon to 
4:4.6.0.0-3 + phonon-backend-gstreamer to 4:4.6.3-1. The phonon-backend-vlc 
was removed for this test because the vlc dependencies were a nightmare to 
downgrade.

Then I've upgraded libphonon4 again to 4:4.7.0.0-2 and it stopped working. I 
can repeat these step again and again and come always to the same result. I 
cannot upgrade phonon or phonon-backend-gstreamer without libphonon4. Thus it 
is not possible for me whether this also happens with only these components 
upgraded.
