Fix audio playback

Since the preparation for encrypted events landed, audio playback was broken since QtMultimedia (gstreamer)
doesn't use our custom QNAM. Instead of letting QtMultimedia download the media, we thus need to manually download it
and point QML Audio to the local file. On the positive side, this also allows encrypted Audio files to be played and enables us to seek in the audio delegate :)
It does however mean that we do need to do an annoying bit of manual state management.
