Well there is not much you can do other than suggest to them that they should apply the patches or just wait until 1.1.6 which has the patch in there already. It will have to be compiled against PA 0.9.22 tho' (the upstream patch) or it will need to be tweaked accordingly if they know the PA 0.9.21 build has the XCB patches applied (that's why I do a brutal patch as I know the last stable distro release in Mandriva has the XCB patches applied in PA).

But IMO, this is not a reason to hold back in Phonon. All the necessary bits are out there. And when 1.1.6 of VLC is official then everything has both released versions and well known patches, so they maintainers can take their pick.
