By default, Yarock player use the phonon capabilities system provided by Qt.
You have to install a phonon backend and check your Phonon setup.
See Phonon backends : VLC, gstreamer, Xine, Mplayer...
Under some linux distro (tested on Mageia) you need to change link to phonon plugin with
ln -s /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend /usr/lib/qt/plugins
(OR) ln -s /usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins
You can build yarock with alternate audio engine (vlc,phonon or mpv). Vlc is the default audio engine since the 1.1.5 versio.
If you want enable/disable audio engine use the following cmake option :
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_VLC=ON -DENABLE_MPV=ON -DENABLE_PHONON=ON
make
make install (as root)
you can use your on icon for yarock in the systray by using the file
/home/your name/.config/yarock/systray_icon.png
