Changes
* VLC 2.0 support was removed, VLC 2.1 is at least required to use the
backend
* CMake requirement aligned with libphonon (2.6.2 => 2.8.9)
* Muting is now implemented asynchronously
Bug Fixes
* Restore build support with Qt <= 5.2 in the Qt 5 build.
* Fixed building videowidget for OSX.
* Fixed schemeless URLs
VLC 2.2 API Pickup
* New device listing API used for listing devices without PulseAudio
enabled
* New internal signals for muting, corking, and volume changes (these
directly relate to new AudioOutputInterface49 API in libphonon providing
these new libvlc features with appropriate frontend control in libphonon)
* This partially improves PulseAudio integration as at least volume and
mute control is now working correctly again via libvlc natively.
PulseAudio Limitations
* PulseAudio support is still not fully backed via libvlc and cannot be
correctly intercepted by libphonon. As a result the following features
continue to not work correctly:
* runtime-device-rerouting: changing the device order in the Phonon
configuration at runtime cannot force libvlc to use the correct
device, if a device was manually set before it will not automatically
migrate to a new device
* runtime-device-selection: selecting a device at runtime is not possible
(see above), as a result applications wanting to do this will get no
result and a warning will be shown. This also means that the
configuration module's Test button does not actually play a sound for
anything but the primary device.
* stream-category: setting a stream category (pulesaudio role) is not
possible, all streams are always category Video
