How do you plan to do this? I'd imagine that if you do this directly
in Mer, it's going to have a negative impact on Plasma Active for
instance, as the policy framework is a fairly new introduction, and I
doubt they have had time to look into using it yet.

This sounds like a sensible decision for platforms where policy
framework is used. Having audio/video appear to work whilst having
side effects is not a good thing.

It was using Phonon. The newly released version (in nemo:devel:apps)
is using QtMultimediaKit, so that may have changed. Can you check
again?
