It won’t be supported in the Qt 5.4 release, and as far as I know we do not have EME support on our roadmap at this point.
The integration and the Qt-side implementation is completely missing for this feature.
The reason you found the mentioned header is that we only strip our snapshot from major unused modules that are well isolated, and where the removal does not hurt maintainability.
