Hi,
I installed QT 4.4 and phonon. Originally, I was getting the following:
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
Phonon::createPath: Cannot connect Phonon::MediaObject(no objectName) to Phonon::AudioOutput(no objectName).
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded

I found a bug report on the Arch Linux Bugs site that recommended creating a symbolic link to the phonon backend so I tried what it said but I still get the same warnings when trying to listen to a XM station. After creating symbolic links, I have the phonon backend located in the following three places:
/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/plugins/phonon_backend
/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/phonon_backend

However, now when I try to run the program, I still get the following:
virtual bool Phonon::Gstreamer::AudioOutput::setOutputDevice(co nst Phonon::AudioOutputDevice&) "default"

Around line number 59 in XMplayer.cpp this line:
audio = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory);
is causing the output from above. I'm thinking it doesn't like what it's getting as the choice for my audio output maybe? I've tried to debug a bit more using Phonon::BackendCapabilities but I'm running into scope issues. I'm still new to C++. =)

Hopefully you can see what's causing the issue.
