The package description for that says it's an "encoder", not a decoder.

VLC doesn't even use GStreamer, afaik.

This will become a growing problem for more users, too. What you show is a
wild mix of packages for two independent GStreamer versions. The packages
with prefix gstreamer1-* are for GStreamer v1.x, those with gstreamer-
prefix are for the older GStreamer 0.10.x. Better check which version
of GStreamer your audio/video players really need.
