Comment(by coling):

 This is a shame as the DBus issue (point 3 above) is a particularly hard
 one to reproduce and thus fix, so a reliable way to reproduce it is
 certainly something I'm looking for.

 But I fully appreciate the time factor and if you are happy enough without
 PulseAudio and only really use the 3 or 4 sound producing applications
 that use Phonon, then you will not really have a significant problem.
 Obviously we care about the full audio stack on Linux and this is why we
 try to integrate things properly from the ground up, rather than just
 bolting something on top for a very narrow use case (a perfectly valid use
 case, but (and I say this as someone who has contributed to Phonon) it
 cannot be denied that it does only focus on a very narrow use case!).

 Anyway, all the best, and I hope we can resolve the underlying issue so
 when you do revisit things later it will work.

 FWIW, the stuttering issues can come from the current Phonon backend's
 pulseaudio support layer. I find that GStreamer is the only one that
 actually supports PA properly, but I do intend to help the VLC project in
 the coming months to ensure that it is all up to scratch too.
