The Sitecore.Analytics.Media.MediaRequestEventHandler
is responsible for tracking all media requests and storing that information in the xDB.
If you look at the OnMediaRequest
method, in there it gets the site context and tracker information and then tracks any page events or goals etc... that are associated with that media item/type.
If you disable that handler, it will prevent any tracking data from being written on media requests.
