That seems planless.
on the contrary, the information was given to resolve concerns about
acquiring codecs without having to install rpmfusion. i think it
achieves that.
Not everything people use is based on GStreamer, so
adding GStreamer plugins like that doesn't achieve much.
like i said, it is
suitable for gnome apps, so that also achieves that.
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?
no. i extracted like 2 or 3 rpms and put the .so files in my plugins folder.
