Neochat is a Matrix client. In the protocol it is possible to send video files. When Neochat is compiled with dev-qt/qtmultimedia without the use gstreamer, the video is downloaded and a play button is displayed but it is not played. When dev-qt/qtmultimedia[gstreamer] is installed, the video plays like expected. For a user this dependency is not obvious. If would be nice if neochat also get an gstreamer or videoplayback useflag or hard depend on that flag. Reproducible: Always I have tested this with neochat-23.08.0-r1 and qtmultimedia-5.15.10.

It could be a runtime useflag (which, however, is currently unsupported). Without gstreamer support, Neochat cannot play videos but does not indicate an error in any way, which is at best confusing by a user or lead to meaningless bug reports at worst. We therefore hard depend on the support.
