Probably the phonon-backend-gstreamer. Either wait for the Phonon update which 
is queued for stable now which will drag the (working) phonon-backend-xine in 
as a hard requirement (because otherwise yum picks the wrong one) or install it 
by hand right now:
su -c "yum install phonon-backend-xine"

Sorry for the inconvenience, we expected yum would pick the right one 
automatically because of the shorter name, but it turns out yum tries to 
be "smarter" these days and does the wrong thing in this case.
