Heh, I hear you :). The issue is that vlc/xine is one package with all
you need. The Gstreamer framework is basic functionality and you install
plugins for support that you need. I admit it is a bit of a hassle, and
maintainers need to make a choice what they want to include.

If you run into any gstreamer stuff that has added baggage that they
don't need, let me know :)
