Are you using Qt 4.8?
YES
The regression will be reverted in Qt 4.8.1. I will keep this bug open, because it was made clear the behavior will change again in Qt 5. For more information, see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22382
>I will keep this bug open, because it was made clear the behavior will change again in Qt 5. python -c "from PyQt5 import QtCore; print ('File: %s' % QtCore.QUrl('foo.txt').toLocalFile())" File: ...seems it did change. However sounds seem to still work. I guess the relevant code in Phonon was changed
