Qt Multimedia has a new friend...

 QtMultimedia just got a new platform to run on - Qt for WebAssembly!


I am happy to announce a new platform contribution for Qt Multimedia.

As of change https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtmultimedia/+/348150 and very much thanks to Qt contributor, Raffaele Pertile, we now have audio play and record on the WebAssembly platform for Qt 6.2.

This is possible  as Emscripten has built-in support for OpenAL, which this patch uses to push audio data around. So now, all your Qt webAssembly apps can have sound effects! \0/
