Hi all! When the new QtMultimedia was announced [1], there was a mention that the Radio API was being removed (by the way, there is no mention of this removal in the migration document [2]). Did it happen because of a lack of time, or were there other reasons? Is it going to come back?
I also would like to resurrect the topic of loadable plugins for the backends. While in Ubuntu Touch we don't have plans to migrate to Qt6 any time soon, this is definitely going to happen sooner or later, and our backend is not supported. So the obvious question is how we will have to proceed: would the Qt project accept the contribution of an additional backend, are there any chances of getting the plugin API back, or should we maintain an out-of-tree mega patch for our backend? The latter option, while the simplest for the Qt Project, would be rather hard for us to work with. I wonder, therefore, if it would be possible to have a compromise, that is that the plugin support gets re-introduced as a build option, as if it was a backend on its own like the Linux, Android, Windows etc. ones. Or if it was somehow delivered as a private API with no promise of stability, that would also do it.
