Hi,

I started developing an educational application in QML in January and I 
agree with you, Qt Multimedia is by far the weakest part of Qt Quick. 
Even if we stick for now to basic feature like playing a wav or ogg 
audio file, it is not well supported equally on all platforms. However 
in our case we saw some improvements over times especially on Android 
and Linux.

For now our main issue is the inability to play an audio file from a qrc 
on MacOSX as tracked by this bug: 
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36175

Regards,

Bruno.
