Hi Kelly! Actually yesterday we where pondering this exact situation. Sadly Qt 
Multimedia still requires GStreamer 0.1, so switching qt5webkit is not a good 
idea as they could easily get mixed.

Qt multimedia will probably switch to GStreamer 0.1 with Qt 5.4, which will 
happen during (or very near to) Debian's freeze, so there is sadly no options 
for Jessie :(

And Ubuntu also patched Qt Multimedia to use 1.0, but yesterday we where told 
that they undid the change, and so they might have a window open for a crash.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
