this combination is an issue at the moment.<br>
<br>
But David found a workaround for that at least for his application, <br>
which passed store QA.<br>
<br>
checkout his main.qml from:<br>

<br>
he does something like:<br>
<br>
ffmpeg -ar 48000 -t 0.1 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 2 -i /dev/zero <br>
-acodec copy noSound.wav<br>
<br>
ApplicationWindow {<br>
...<br>
Audio {<br>
id: noSound<br>
source: "/usr/share/harbour-screenshot/noSound.wav"<br>
}<br>
// workaround a bug in QtMultimedia<br>
Component.onCompleted: noSound.play()<br>
}<br>
}<br>
