      It would be nice if Qt Multimedia supported sending metadata such as a title to audio backends that support it (for instance PulseAudio), and if the application side interfaces such as QML MediaPlayer allowed overriding the default metadata values with application-specific values.

      Currently when playing a video with Qt Multimedia, PulseAudio shows the title "Playback Stream" which isn't very useful for disambiguating multiple application instances (I guess Qt Multimedia is using pulseaudio via gstreamer in this case)
