Problems with phonon example

I played around a little with Phonon - or at least I tried to.
I compiled the capabilities example and it runs fine. It lists all my sound devices and a long list of supported MIME types.
After that I compiled the music player example. Again it compiles and runs. But when I try to add a file, the dialog pops up, I select a file, press OK, and nothing happens I added some debugging code but found no error, just the signal stateChanged (...) connected in constructor

connect(metaInformationResolver, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)),
             this, SLOT(metaStateChanged(Phonon::State, Phonon::State)));

connect(metaInformationResolver, SIGNAL(stateChanged(Phonon::State,Phonon::State)),
             this, SLOT(metaStateChanged(Phonon::State, Phonon::State)));

never fires, the state of metaInformationResolver is 0 (Phonon::LoadingState).

I tried various file types, ogg, mp3, wav, ac3, always the same result.
I can play all these files with xmms or MPlayer, so no problem on this side.

Any suggestions?

Try different BE.

Try update KDE4.1.1 (at least the phonon part), maybe the bug has been fixed.

And: Musicplayer had a bug, which was there when selecting a dir and not a file.

Xine-BE has an issue with having multiple mediaobjects opened/used at the same time.
I.e. playing and getting metainformation.

In my code it doesn't work with Xine as promised/documented by Phonon so I serialised the access (first meta, then playing).
