That is not fixing anything. It is making it more complicated. QtMultimedia a 
new separate audio framework and is unlikely to coexist peacefully with phonon 
or pulseaudio. On top of that Qt does not yet included any codecs, and when 
they do you are likely to be limited to those codecs instead of those you have 
installed.  If you want audio and video to work you will have to fix it 
yourself, Qt is trapped in an internal powerstrugle on this issue.

* This is based on what we have seen of QtMultimedia in 4.6
