Part of the design is DBus for license separation -- to use say Phonon with a bluray decoder you'll probably need a license exception (like GStreamer has) and I suspect Dolby approval would be impossible.
As I said earlier, the design is mostly based on real world legal and technical concerns for the target use-case (dvb, dvd, bluray, dolby) that no other projects cope with.

License-separation is an annoying concern from a technical perspective. But I wonder if the separate process can be useful for stability/security too. (I suspect stability: easier and security: hard, but I'm just guessing.)
