Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Whenever an application that uses Phonon also uses a webkit that uses gstreamer, webkit will install its own webkit based http source. This source is then expoed to Phonon which tries to set a user-agent on it, which is not supported and the webkit source decides that it does not want to work when someone tries to do that. As a result http streaming is broken in any such setup.

  [Test Case]
  * Install tomahawk and phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.6.2
  * Activate a couple of http resolvers (e.g. soundcloud and youtube)
  * Search for random tracks and try to play ones coming from resolvers
  * Obesrve that streaming does not work a lot of times (not always).

  [Regression Potential]
  The proposed fix disables user-agent setting if the source has no user-agent property, so there is no regression potential as there would not be a phonon user-agent set at any rate.

  -- Original Report ----------------------------------
  I was trying to use tomahawk from https://launchpad.net/~tomahawk/+archive/ppa using phonon and phonon-backend-gstreamer. Unfortunately that didn't work with the audio sources in tomahawk that are streamed over HTTP. According to users in the tomahawk IRC channel this issue is in phonon-backend-gstreamer, as the phonon-backend-vlc works fine.
