<![CDATA[Playing QML Audio or Multimedia from qrc not working on Android]]>Hi,
I was trying to play a sound file with the QML Audio or MultiMedia components from qrc, but it doesn't work on Android.

Running the same code on Windows works.

Based on "this bug report":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31422, playing audio files from resources should work since Qt 5.2.1. I tried both with Qt 5.2.1 and the latest Qt 5.3 RC but only get this onError output:

@ErrorCode: 5
ErrorString: (Unknown error/Insufficient resources)
@

and this error pops up in the console too:
@E/MediaPlayer(17306): Error (1,-2147483648)@

I tested on a Sony Ericsson Xperia and Huawei Ascend, both the same errors.

Anyone experiencing the same issues or has a fix for this?

Cheers,
Chris

DOH, sorry folks.
