it's a bug exposed with the port to QML of the notifications plasmoid. i've 
fixed it in the 4.10 (so will be in 4.10.1) and master branches.

this is generally discouraged, but i can see your reason for wanting this. i'm 
not sure if this component will do what you need at all as it was designed for 
something slightly different i believe, but give it a try:

runtime dependencies that must be installed by the package manager are not 
supported .. and unfortunately QML does not provide a way to have non-fatal 
imports right now .. the unsatisfactory answere here is that the system must 
simply have qt multimedia installed (which really any system set up for QML 
ought to, sth packagers should take into consideration)
