Uploaded phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer and phonon-backend-vlc to trusty-proposed awaiting approved from ~ubuntu-sru

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

one bug it fixes is tomahawk rtmp streams not working (hard to test as tomahawk is collection based)

That's got a very high buildsystem-change/actual-code -change ratio! :)

phonon-backend-gstreamer SRU removes some transitional packages labelled “Can be removed in 14.10”. Given this is being SRU'd to 14.04, you might want to either back that out or explain why it's safe :)

I have upgraded all three packages to the versions in trusty-proposed, no regressions.
