1 GStreamer use 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://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=1936.
