Is there functionallity for prerolling media in phonon?

If not, I would suggest the possibility of supporting this with e.g  
the method:
bool MediaObject::preRollMedia(qint64 startTime = 0, float  
playbackRate = 1.0f);

...and then a signal:
MediaObject::mediaPreRolled(float percentage);
...That lets the user monitor the progress.

BTW: I connot find any notion of playback rate either, except in the  
experimental files (videodataoutput). Perhaps we should add this  
somewhere. In QuickTime you can have negative playback rate, meaning  
the movie will play backwards ;)
