Speaking of gstreamer-plugins-bad, I don't even grab mine from any repository. I have to compile my own as I use the timidity and wildmidi plugins (which aren't enabled in any of the repos, as far as I can tell).
Argh, you are right they aren't enabled in livna. Next time please file a bug about things like this. I specially packaged libtimidity and wildimidi for Fedora so that I could enable them, I'll do a new gstreamer-plugins-bad for livna fixing this shortly.
I was wondering why there was a wildmidi-related patch in the srpm.
Well, because I intended to enable wildmidi support as soon as wildmidi got approved, but I forgot :|
Sorry if I hadn't filed a bug report. It's hard to tell what was intended and what isn't. Would it interest you to know that on my machine, I also have the mpeg2enc and nassink plugins enabled?
mpeg2enc should already be enabled I indeed missed nas thats enabled now too
Hans, how about this for an idea: re-write the gstreamer-plugins-bad.spec so that it puts the various plugins in separate packages and make gstreamer-plugins-bad a virtual package that Requires all of the plugins to pull them in?
I think this is a bad idea, we really want the user to have todo less to get a complete set of codecs, not more.
It might be an idea to put some of the less often used sinks (jack, nas, ?) in a -extras package though, to avoid pulling in deps most people don't have a use for.
Regards,
Hans
