[PyQt] Playing an ogg file with QtMultimedia?

Hi,

(also Cc-ing the list again as I don't think it was intended to send
this off-list)

This should probably be QUrl.fromLocalFile(...) instead.

If a DLL was missing, Qt would probably terminate/abort.

Some things to check:

- .error()/.errorString()
- .volume() (in the example they do .setVolume(50))
