QAudioOutput isn't integrated with system volume and libresource like QMediaPlayer

Currently if you create an application that uses QMediaPlayer you get automatic integration with the system volume control and with libresource. Unfortunately this isn't the case if you're using the lower level QAudioOutput mechanism in QtMultimedia, this leads to apps being less well integrated with overall sound system as they have to implement everything themselves.

This is of particular interest for CuteSpotify, as it has to use QAudioOutput to handle the raw audio packets sent from libspotify.

Thanks!
