you can
just grab the rpms from rpmfusion, unzip and get all the .so files out
of them and place them in your .local/share/gstreamer-1.0/plugins
folder. a la:
ls .local/share/gstreamer-1.0/plugins/
libgsta52dec.so libgstcdio.so libgstlame.so libgstrmdemux.so
libgstamrnb.so libgstdvdlpcmdec.so libgstlibav.so libgsttwolame.so
libgstamrwbdec.so libgstdvdread.so libgstmad.so libgstx264.so
libgstasf.so libgstdvdsub.so libgstmpeg2dec.so libgstxingmux.so
and most all codecs will now run in your gnome applications without any
worries.
That seems planless. Not everything people use is based on GStreamer, so
adding GStreamer plugins like that doesn't achieve much. And what about the
dependencies of those GStreamer plugins? Do you really fetch all those extra
rpms and extract them to a local path to be added to runtime linker's search path?
