I'm thinking of this:
http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apidocs/phonon/html/classPhonon_1_1AbstractMediaStream.html

Basically you can push as much as you want in it but it's not a very good idea.
Better is to react to the need-data signal and then push stuff in it, this can
be used to implement pull and push based sources. 
There should also be a seek signal emited when the appsrc is configured to be
seekable. 
Alternatively a max queue length could be set but then your push will block
when the queue is full, don't know if that is cool, it depends on the use case. 
You could also set the source to sync, making it a (pseudo) live source. Or
configure it as live and feed it live data. I'll try some of this and post some
patches.
