Multimedia and Phonon Support

Qt provides a backend for Qt's multimedia module, Phonon, which supports video and sound playback through Symbian's Multimedia Framework, MMF.

In this release the support is experimental. Video playback may have flickering issues, and support for effects and playback queueing is incomplete.

The audio and video formats that Phonon supports depends on what support the platform provides for MMF. The emulator is known to have limited codec support.

In addition, there exists a backend for the Helix framework. However, due to it not shipping with Qt, its availability depends on the Symbian platform in use. If available, it is loaded instead of the MMF plugin.
