Bug#365516: gstreamer0.10-pitfdll: Doesn't handle "video/mpeg" that MPlayer can play

[Johan Walles]

Adding those dependencies made the gst-launch-0.10 command line play
the movie with sound and all.  Whee!

I'm usually using MPlayer.  But when I saw the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
thing I thought that it should be just what I needed to make the
default Gnome apps play everything I want.

The default media player for Gnome seems to be Totem, since that's
what gnome-desktop-environment-2.12.3 (the current version in Testing)
depends on.

And Totem depends on a bunch of gstreamer-0.8 stuff.

So I'm starting to realize that getting gstreamer-0.10 going didn't
help me very much at all :-(.  And it won't until Totem gets built
against gstreamer-0.10 (that's bug 329349) or whatever.

Anyway, thanks for the quick replies!  Gstreamer 0.10 seems to work OK
for me now.  You may or may not want to add some dependencies.

  Have fun :-) //Johan
