REQUIREMENTS

   1 GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are
   2 optional.  We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on
   3 optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries.  If
   4 you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug
   5 report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
