I was thinking about it (without Phonon) and I came up to the same
conclusion :) My libsubtitle was designed to provide pixmaps and some
text for widget and frontend application. Widget is in presentation
layer with some funtion control layer. Library (no matter if separated
or in Phonon) is in data layer with some controls.
