    Description

      On the Linux platform, I must to stick to Qt5 because I need direct access to alsa devices to open an audio device and use QMediaPlayer.

      In other words, QMediaDevices::audioOutputs returns an empty list if PulseAudio is disabled.

      On Qt5, I am able to use alsa directly.

      I need to write a "bit perfect" media player, bypassing pulse audio software mixer.

      Regards.

      Arch Linux, Qt 6.6.0
