Today, the world upgrade to media-libs/phonon-4.12 caught me by surprise, because the old phonon backend gstreamer is not supported (yet?) and VLC was not pulled in on my installation (due to a global -vlc use flag). Is there any reason why gstreamer is not supported anymore? Will it come back eventually? It would be great, if the ebuild could check if at least one phonon backend is enabled (currently its VLC only). Otherwise video playback may break for people like me, see: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8832259.html
No, the gstreamer backend is dead, and configuration of a backend was always optional, even now. I don't think a check with elog message in pkg_postinst will do much. We can think about improving the IUSE situation though - renaming "+vlc" to "minimal" or "no-backend", giving users a backend by default unless they are opting out.
I didn't know that phonon without a backend had a useful purpose. I have learnt something new. For me it is fine to keep the "vlc" use flag. I believe I disabled "vlc", because I didn't want the VLC player to be installed. It seems that this is not an option anymore. As the VLC player gets pulled in as a dependency, "vlc" seems to be the right use flag. Maybe a enews entry would be the best solution? The enews should inform users that phonon-gstreamer has become deprecated and has not been ported to Qt6. The enews should tell users that VLC is the only backend option for now and that users should check their use flag settings for a disabled "vlc" if they experience missing playback functionality. Endeavor OS has a nice article about that: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/phonon-gstreamer-is-deprecated-and-no-longer-has-qt6-support/51981/ Maybe the enews could be something similar.

It doesn't rise to that level of newsworthiness, we would be spamming our users a lot then. IUSE optimisation may be done though.
