This is a great move by trolltech.

Does anyone know if this will be in KDE-4.0?

And does this mean that in the future since Qt already has phonon that although Phonon will be developped in KDE's subversion KDE will not release Phonon anymore?

And does someone know in which Qt module (QtGui, etc) Phonon will be or if it will be a new module?

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

Well, since the backends are in /trunk/KDE/kdebase I think they will be included in kde 4.0 :)

Well the ones for the current OS anyway, I don't think KDE on Linux will require a windows phonon backend

Bonus geek points to someone who figures out how to use the Windows phonon backend with winelib on linux.

Have fun.

It already *is*. See http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/phonon/ and http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=747964

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

But what can tell you is this: Phonon will be released along with each Qt release and each KDE release. This means we'll alternate version numbers.

What could be a source of problems is if you have two sets of headers installed in your system. That could cause compiling errors. If that's the case, you can just disable the compilation of Phonon in Qt or in KDE.

New module called "phonon". It's the exact same API as the one we have in KDE, so no surprises there.

Phonon should be available in tonight's snapshots of Qt 4.4.0.
