phonon-vlc-mplayer-0.1.0 released!

Here is the link to download phonon-vlc-mplayer-0.1.0:
http://code.google.com/p/phonon-vlc-mplayer/downloads/list

Get the right package, install latest MPlayer & VLC-0.9 then run the examples.
I recommend mediaplayer in general and multiplevideoplayer for DVD/MKV
chapters/titles/subtitles (MPlayer backend only).

For the Windows setup, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++
2005 Redistributable Package:

By default it is the MPlayer backend that is used, if you want to use
the VLC backend, just delete phonon_backend/phonon_mplayer.(dll|so)

For the source package, do a svn checkout of revision 150.

The Phonon library given in the package is a patched version with
better titles/chapters handling. phonon-vlc-mplayer is of course
compatible with latest Phonon SVN with a simple #define

Any comment is more than welcome!
