I am not sure if it is a proper place to report issues like this here, but it is probably something that theoretically can make QT a bit better.

Linking multimedia module to an app in CMake, for example, with

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE Qt6::Multimedia)

results in the following permissions are automatically added on Android:

android.permission.CAMERA
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO

that can be necessary for applications that uses camera and records audio, but if an app uses multimedia module only for playing sounds with QAudioSink these permissions are redundant and the user can be surprised that his app requires them.

Why not to add a configuration option to exclude all the staff that requires there permissions from multimedia module? For example, something like:

configure --multimedia-no-camera --multimedia-no-record-audio

will built QT with a multimedia module that does not require permissions on Android.
