As I have no overview over existing solutions for Windows, I cannot make an=
y=20
recommendations about what to use for a backend implementation. From all I=

know GStreamer "Our main target is the Unix platform. It also works on Win3=

and Mac OS X, but it may still be a bit challenging to get everything up an=
d=20
running." might be a candidate for Windows. Also it might be possible to=20
write a Backend using DirectX, which would also be able to support Video=20
(from all I heard about DirectX ;-) ).

AFAIK there is nobody looking into Phonon Backend support for Windows at th=
is=20
point.

All multimedia related code in KDE should at some point switch to using the=
=20
Phonon API, which does not have any platform dependent code in the frontend.
