Can Phonon be used for capture or transcoding?
Question
Qt/KDE's Phonon media framework abstraction implemented playback first. Can it do anything more complicated yet?
Solution
Phonon, in its current state, only supports playback. The Qt team would like to add capturing in the future though:
Phonon and its Qt backends, though fully functional for multimedia playback, are still under development. Functionality to come is the possibility to capture media and more processors for both music and video files.
OTHER TIPS
There is no API's in Phonon for capture or transcoding yet. Effects and capture is on KDE's Phonon roadmap which can be viewed here;
There is meant to be a new functionality in 4.6 called the QtMultimedia:

Its not complete yet but you can see some progress.
