Phonon in standalone app via py2app - backend plugin error

[tory108]

FWIW, I got around the backend-plugin error with this fix, but I still had a threading error which prevented my application from actually playing audio. After much, much trying, I eventually learned that phonon's thread used a Qt object not registered with PyQt -- and definitively I could not access the object from python to register it!

I eventually abandoned phonon, implemented everything I needed (asynchronous playback, seekSlider) using pyaudio and wave -- which are both built-in to python -- and deployed a working application.

I spent five weeks trying to deploy a working python application with phonon, and I couldn't make it happen. If you succeed, God bless you -- you're a better developer than I!

Also FWIW, I had to recopy that Plugins directory (described in #5) after *every time* I ran py2app. Not a great workaround, I know...
