story:
The thing in question was called QtMultimedia and was part of Qt, then it got split out of Qt and moved into QtMobility and renamed to QtMultimediaKit, then it got split out of QtMobility and renamed to QtMultimedia (for Qt 5 only that is).

From the build log of pyqt4 that I saw some time ago I gather that it is trying to use QtMultimedia (Qt 4), whereas we and current upstream only has QtMultimediaKit (Qt 4), hence the incompatibility. To my knowledge everything except namespace/include paths should be upwards compatible from QtMM to QtMMK, so getting this to build should be a matter of s/QtMultimedia/QtMultimediaKit. Additionally the generated python module probably also should be named QtMultimediaKit (as to avoid confusing there).

Of course the best solution would be to try find QtMM and build a module for that and also try to find QtMMK and build a module for that. As obviously QtMMK has additional API that was not available in QtMM...
