The kttsd gstreamer plugin is already conditionally compiled and if plugin is 
not available at runtime, is not a problem.  But I do need to add a configure 
option (--enable-kttsd-gstreamer) that should probably default to false.

Splitting out kttsd gstreamer into yet another module doesn't appeal to me 
much; KTTS is already fragmented quite a bit already.  Besides, the kttsd 
gstreamer plugin is dependent upon libkttsd, so if it were moved to 
kdeextreager, there would be a dependency between kdeextragear and 
kdeaccessibility.  I don't think Debian packagers will have a problem, but I 
can't speak for RPM and gentoo packagers.  If it comes down to moving kttsd 
gstreamer into kdeextragear, I'd opt to remove it altogether; GStreamer has 
some issues.
