Description:
When installing kde and thus phonon a LOT of gnome dependencies are also being isntalled which only gets worse when you want to play mp3 files and you install the gstreamer plugins... then a lot more gnome/gtk2 stuff gets installed... FOR AN AUDIO/VIDEO CODEC! thus kde should use phonon-xine or phonon-vlc as a multimedia backend standard.

This is a pacman issue as it just installs the first package in alphabetical order when there are several providers.

Moving to pacman project; even though there might be a task for this issue yet.
