Remove some very out of date information.
The module overview still needs a lot of work. Change-Id: I675e94d2fbcfec550a3d96056f52325e6150de7d Reviewed-by: Dmytro Poplavskiy <dmytro.poplavskiy@nokia.com>

\section1 Overview
This API delivers an easy to use interface to multimedia functions. The
developer can use the API to display an image, or a video, record sound or play a
multimedia stream.
-There are several benefits this API brings to Qt. Firstly, the
-developer can now implement fundamental multimedia functions with minimal
-code, mostly because they are already implemented. Also there is a great
-deal of flexibility with the media source or the generated multimedia. The
-source file does not need to be local to the device, it could be streamed
-from a remote location and identified by a URL. Finally, many different
-codecs are supported 'out
-of the box'.

The supplied \l {qtmultimedia examples}{examples} give a good idea at the ease of use of the API. When
the supporting user interface code is ignored we can see that functionality
is immediately available with minimal effort.
