Then I'd be able to play VP9 in browser

Wow, what a bunch of anti-KDE, anti-C++, anti whatever trolling. I actually came here to ask if anyone knows of plan for Ubuntu 11.10 inclusion, but I guess, the answer is obvious, it's way too late. I care, because I use PiTiVi for video, which depends on gstreamer.

QtMultimedia is a middle-level abstraction layer. It provides more advanced features and more control but also makes it more difficult to implement basic functionality.
QtGstreamer is just a Qt-style C++ wrapper around Gstreamer, and thus is very low-level. It basically replicates the Gstreamer API but in a manner more suitable for C++ developers. It also adds some basic tools to make it easier to incorporate Gstreamer into Qt applications. It provides much more control and much more advanced features, but also requires a lot more work to get basic media player functionality.
So if you want to add a video preview to a file browser, or have a basic music player, then Phonon is the way to go. If you want access to the raw media data when you do the playback, you probably want QtMultimedia. If you want to do a lot of complex processing for your video or audio you probably want QtGstreamer.
