Qt 5.12.1 is out! Compiling against it works. On my Linux setup, I occasionally have audio dropouts.

###EDIT (again) ~~And even now with Qt 5.11.3, I have audio drop-outs. I don´t think it`s due to Qt. The Linux setup I use is with mesa/llvm "beta" (19.1/9) - regarding this -> issues are obvious. Sorry that I´ve blamed Qt for this. I will reinstall my Linux machine with mesa and llvm stable and probably Qt 5.12.1.~~ "to be continued" ~~Nope. not working correctly~~

~~Qt 5.12.3 is out... And it seems to be stable, no audio glitches what so ever...~~ audio drop outs......

###EDIT (again.....) Qt 5.12.4 is out... again it is working and then all of a sudden audio issues They are indicated as "ALSA XRUN hit, attempting to recover" So something about the buffer is messed up

On my Linux machine, plex-media-player was working great with qt5-13.2. My Distro now provides qt5.14.1 and there are several Issues playing Video files. The player shows only the first frame of the Video file and the control menue ghosts. If I change to fullscreen, the picture updates but gets stuck at the next Frame. Would be nice if you could fix those Issues
