phonon

Apparently the path for the phonon library is lowercase, so you should `#include <phonon>` lowercase.

But from the point of view of a phonon, the solid is indistinguishable from a vacuum.

If you're on linux, best is if you remove phonon-gstreamer and install phonon-vlc.

A phonon is a wave in matter rather than electromagnetism (photon).

Try removing phonon-gstreamer and installing phonon-vlc.

Almost all of the time however it will generate a phonon (aka heat) rather than a photon with the extra energy.

Why does rkward, a stats program, need to have the phonon-backend-vlc video or libkntlm dependencies?

I'll try compiling it on qt5/linux as well, thanks for tracking down the phonon issues!

The Phonon Q has its SIM card soldered to the phone.

What distinguishes the 'real' vacuum from what the phonon sees?

If you're on linux switching your phonon backend may help.

This sounds like a problem with your current phonon-backend.

So, for example, a "hole" in a semiconductor lattice is emergent, but a phonon is quasi?

There are various types "quasi-particles" that can move through a lattice, examples include phonon's and poloron's.

Some issues with the "phonon" library, it seems.

Phonon is essentially a built-in adapter layer over whatever audio driver and media decoder libraries you already have.

KDE doesn't have sound drivers, but it should have a mixer, it does have Phonon, etc.
