Phonon does not need to support OSS directly. Phonon on linux uses either the Xine backend or the gstreamer backend. So as long as xine or gstreamer support output to OSS phonon should work for you.
From last weaks digest:
"David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/konqueror/settings/konqhtml:
GUI: checkbox for the "Middle click on a tab closes it" option (which has existed for a long time, but didn't have a GUI)."
woot!
cool indeed!
Are we getting more compositioning effects before KDE 4.1 is released?
We don't even have feature parity for the most popular features with Compiz fusion yet. I'd also be exited about more unique effects that Compiz fusion doesn't have yet.
C'mon it's only a few more months before KDE 4.1 is ready to be released. We need to have these effects ready to create buzz around KDE..

Port a few Compiz effects to Kwin ;-)
They are supposedly very small, often under 100 lines of code...
It's time to bump this to the most recent digest again. :)

If you haven't done so, please vote to give KDE equal representation in Kubuntu. It deserves it!!! Many people work hard on KDE.
