@Jim, yeah, we want to keep backported features at their original import
versions so we don't have to carry backport patches indefinitely.

Title:
  Playlist support in vivid+overlay and Xenial is different/non
  compatible

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in qtmultimedia-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  qtmultimedia-opensource-
  src-5.4.1/debian/patches/add_qdeclarative_playlist.patch says

  +        qmlRegisterType<QDeclarativePlaylist>(uri, 5, 4, "Playlist");

  while qtmultimedia-opensource-src-5.5.1/debian/patches/Added-new-
  playlist-QML-type.patch (as per silo 12) says

  +        qmlRegisterType<QDeclarativePlaylist>(uri, 5, 6, "Playlist");

  This is not a good idea, we should keep the imports to the same level
  as we decide to support them, even if the support was not official
  doing this makes it harder to have a codebase that works fine in both
  vivid+overlay and xenial.

  Also the xenial patch seems to be missing some things like
  QDeclarativePlaylist::moveItem
