The fact that the Qt developers think that this would belong into a
toolkit doesn't make this the right decision. Sound API and printing
architecture are both readily available and I don't see any need to
move this (huge) functionality into the toolkit. GTK+ is about drawing
user interfaces, let's keep it that way.
