The subject is about mpg123, which is not related to GStreamer at all.
The message you replied to is about RPMfusion in general.
like i said, it is suitable for gnome apps, so that also achieves
that.
And you still would need to resolve dependencies *yourself*, which
defeats the purpose of tools like Yum or DNF. They would pull in what's
needed. It may even be a specific version of a library package that's
needed.

no. i extracted like 2 or 3 rpms and put the .so files in my plugins folder.
You need at least the following packages as dependencies,
libmad
libmimic
libmms
opencore-amr
vo-amrwbenc
for the plugins in "gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld" and
"gstreamer1-plugins-ugly".
And a "dnf install gstreamer1-plugins\*" here wants to install
"35 Packages", while some dependencies probably are installed already.
