It's a Qt thing. But at least in Qt 4.4.x it was quite problematic. On WIndows XP, it would play wav
files, which it wouldn't play on WIndow Vista, where phonon would be able to play mp3, which it
wasn't able to play on XP... On OSX everything was fine. And on Linux, an app compiled on Ubuntu,
crashed in gestreamer on OpenSUSE and Fedora -- and all other permutation gave the same result.

We'll have to try again with 4.5 -- 4.5 is in many ways a great series of releases with lots of fixes
and cool things.
