Phonon is in integral part of the Qt [1]. The CMakeLists provided by Félix works fine on Debian with libqt4-dev[2] and libqt4-phonon[3] packages. It also works on Arch linux and with both the latest pre-built and from-source Qt4 packages for Windows.

FindQt4 is a reliable way to find Phonon for Qt4 applications except on Ubuntu. Given where it is maintained (KDE), I doubt the FindPhonon script [4] will ever get Windows support. We can rely on much better support from FindQt4 given that it's part of CMake itself.

Seems to me like this is a problem with the way Ubuntu distributes Phonon.
