Bug Description
Hi
In Plasma 5.16.90 the Phonon KCM was removed and got replaced with a standalone application in Phonon 4.11 ( https:/
As Kubuntu disco/eoan ships with Version 4.10.2/3 there is no longer the possibility to change the backend between gstreamer and vlc other than only installing one of these backends (not that big of a problem) and you can no longer prioritize the outputs (like internal soundcard over hdmi) which leads in my case after a reboot always to default to hdmi instead of the soundcard.
Could you please update Phonon at least for eoan as I guess this will be shipping Plasma 5.17?

Eoan will ship with Plasma 5.16. 5.17.0 simply comes too late in the release cycle at 2 days before final Eoan release, and we would never ship with a .0 release even if it was possible.
I will look into including the new phonon in any new backports/beta PPA builds where there is Plasma 5.17.
