While I sadly can't attend the summit, I'd be really interested if some 
gstreamer+Qt/KDE guys could find some time for a confab.

I'd really like to see Phonon on KDE using the phonon-gstreamer backend 
if possible, but there are several issues to sort out. Having a 
gstreamer mentory/guru would surely help here!

IMO having gstreamer as the defacto backend on KDE would solve a lot of 
bugs that are being blamed on pulseaudio right now which really boil 
down to Xine's poor support for the pulseaudio output layer (as Xine 
seems to have become the standard phonon backend right now).

Hopefully the Gnome+KDE crossover will let this kind of meeting go through.
