Turn off silent mode. Qt-application can't play sounds using Phonon in Silent mode.
As workaround you can use Tweakr to create new silent profile (just turn all volumes off and save as preset) and use it instead of built-in Silent profile.
Phonon uses gstreamer. You should be able to use libplayback for that if you can figure out the correct "stream name".
Sweet! At last a player with real eq and playlist capabilities.THANKS for your work.
Is there a desktop avatar on the way?
I had the same issue too (i.e., no avatar after installation). But once I rebooted my N900, the icon was then there. I had already mentioned the same issue in an earlier post in this same thread.
