> So you're saying that porting once every 7 (!!) years, is more painful than writing and maintaining the abstraction layer?
Remember that without Phonon, you would need to port _all_ applications (including those that might have become unsupported), and that some people may also prefer using another back-end such as VLC or Xine. Not to mention other OS's.
Phonon was and remains the way to go IMNSHO.

Or you could just use gst.010.
I can accept that Phonon can be useful if you want to support different OSs, but in most cases it is nothing but a very leaky inderection layer.

Those applications also had to be ported to Phonon and Phonon had to be developed. Some of the GStreamer 0.10 -> 1.0 porting was just updating something in configure.ac (meaning: no source code change!).
