Bug#161379: gstreamer-aa: package descriptions are shite

[Loïc Minier]

        Hi Joey,

 In #161379 against gstreamer0.8-alsa, you complained about the
 descriptions of the GStreamer plugins packages:

 What do you think of the current description of gstreamer0.8-alsa:

 Description: ALSA plugin for GStreamer
  This GStreamer plugin enables the usage of ALSA supported devices for input
  and output audio streams.

 In general, the description are quite technical in 0.8 packages because
 there is something like 1 package per plugin / plugin group (plugins
 are grouped by dependencies they pull).  In 0.10, the plugins are
 grouped in large sets, with less technical descriptions (but perhaps
 even more obscure), however I consider that these plugins should be
 pulled by applications dependencies, not by the end-user selecting them
 in his package manager.

 What do you think?  Perhaps you can suggest a wording for the
 descriptions which you still consider clumsy?

   Thanks,
