PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin is now available in Fedora 9, but the version of RPM in F-9 is still 4.4.2.3-3, meaning that the GStreamer provides patch (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438225) is not applied yet.
This leads to an inconsistent interface: when playing a file for which no GStreamer codec is installed using Totem or Banshee, the codec service will get triggered, but users who have RPMfusion-nonfree enabled would then be surprised to be told there is no match.
Since the plugin has already landed, we can't quite block it from Fedora 9. Could F-9's RPM be patched, so that Gstreamer plugin providers can then rebuild their RPMs to take advantage of the plugin?

It's a pretty trivial change to rpm to generate the data, but F9 is old, and soon going to be obsolete. I guess the best thing to do is disable the PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin functionality in F9. Please open a bug if you want me to do that. Thanks.
