I'm currently in process of emailing with mpt about how we should handle this for media-hub and pulseaudio. I just sent this out yesterday, so I don't know his thoughts on this quite yet.

There are some differences in the Audio Role patch compared to the version on vivid-overlay PPA that requires changes. Qt 5.5 targets landing soon after xenial opens. For reference, Old API: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/qt/qtmultimedia.git/diff/debian/patches/adding_media_role_property.patch?h=ubuntu&id=d5149eefcd093d96be3191d5f8a7f622f788e1f4 New, upstreamed API: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/qt/qtmultimedia.git/tree/debian/patches/Add-audio-role-API-to-QMediaPlayer.patch?h=ubuntu More information about Qt 5.5 at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/QtTesting The plan (2015-11-02): Patch some components to work with both old API & Qt 5.4 + new API & Qt 5.5 - qtubuntu-camera, qtubuntu-media to detect at compile time and Unity 8 at runtime. Pulseaudio and media-hub would land only to xenial, switching to the new API as part of the Qt 5.5 silo. Clock and dropping-letters drop the audio role usage as it's not supposed to be used in those.
