| GStreamer use a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are |
| optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on |
| optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If |
| you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug |
| report at http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=1936. |
