Apf.. Too complicated.. Too hard! Check the backends, install the dependencies...And all these only for mp3 playing. Useless. I think I'll use the pre-installed canbera-gtk-play and have only ogg and wav support

I guess your app wouldn't work on my system then

By the way, I've placed the how-to in the wiki: [wiki]How to get Phonon working[/wiki]

My app wouldn't work in your system because it uses a lot of other bash commands like sed and other because this way is much easier than the C++ way (I mean for file processing). In order to play mp3 files, I found a terminal command called mpg123

only 35KB

But I do have sed installed on my system, so that's perfectly fine. I don't have your gtk player installed. I think I don't have mpg123 installed too, after all I have mplayer...

Edit: I do have mpg123. You should add another 250kB to your mpg123 as it requires the mpg123 library
