"The Amarok devs are (or maybe was, I didn't follow the discussion lately) pushing for GStreamer
inclusion in KDE, but ofcourse KDE did the NIH, and want to make their own thing, can't remember
it's name..."

Phonon? Phonon is an abstraction-layer that lets KDE use any media-framework that comes along,

And what makes you think that KDE suffers from NIH? Do you have any examples?
