Improved rpath handling.
Build fixed for Mac OS X.
PulseSupport::setupStreamEnvironment creates more verbose output now.
Ensure older backends retain volume control over PulseAudio streams.
* MediaSource(QString) is now deprecated, MediaSource(QUrl) should be
used instead.
* New build option PHONON_ASSERT_STATES to debug incoherent or incorrect
state changes from the backend.
* Documentation cleanup.
* Normalized internal QObject connections.
* Experimental support for building libphonon using QMake; limited control
over feature set and installation path.
* By default both official Phonon backends try to find a matching subtitle
file for videos.
* Phonon's CMake build now uses CMake's own GNUInstallDirs which on most
systems should correctly figure out where to put library files (in
particular with regards to multi-architecture support on Linux). Should
you wish to manually set the library installation path, please use
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR rather than LIB_INSTALL_DIR from now on.
API Additions
* Additional subtitle API (only partially backed by Phonon VLC - see
FeatureMatrix)
* BluRay support in libphonon (only backed by Phonon VLC)
Backend Exclusive API Additions
* New AudioOutputInterface47 allowing backends to get the Phonon
Pulseaudio stream mapping ID which can be used together with
PulseSupport::streamProperties to prevent [#321288]. Requires
PHONON_BACKEND_VERSION_4_7 to be defined as with all new interface
versions.
Bug Fixes
* AudioOutput::setVolume can now be called before entering Phonon::Playing
state regardless of whether PulseAudio is in use or not.
* Consecutive streams no longer override each other's PulseAudio stream
mapping.

Phonon is the Multimedia API for KDE and QT.
In Phonon there are three main concepts: MediaObjects, Paths and Outputs.
The MediaObjects control the playback/capture and provide the media data.
MediaObjects can be connected to Outputs using Path objects which also
allow the insertion of Effect objects between MediaObject and Output.
