Elisa supports using qtmultimedia's own facilities for audio playback, rather than using Elisa's own custom VLC-based backend, which it will prefer if available at build time. qtmultimedia's default backend on most platforms is ffmpeg, and anecdotally, it's giving me better performance than Elisa's VLC-based backend was. It seems like most distributions build it with libVLC, with the notable exceptions of Fedora, and Gentoo (which of course makes building with VLC user-configurable).
