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

VLC doesn't even use GStreamer, afaik.
True. I mentioned gstreamer as an example. VLC uses a bunch of other
libraries, but still doesn't work with MP4.

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.
As I said, VLC doesn't need it, but doesn't work. In any case, I've
removed all the older gstreamer packages and nothing protested, so
presumably they were unneeded.
