Not quite (smile) ! -- I ran into this & sent bugs to Gentoo + KDE ; |

the outcome was that I discovered that Phonon doesn't in fact demand |
| 10 |
that you install the actual sound software : |
| 11 |
it works to do 'USE="gstreamer" --nodeps emerge phonon' |
| 12 |
& Kdelibs then compiles successfully as well. |

If you compile KDE outside Portage, there's a "nosound" flag, |
| 15 |
but the Gentoo devs have implemented that to require 'USE=<soundpkg>", |

perhaps knowing that it cb happily ignored via '--nodeps'. |
