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/.
