--- Comment #4 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net> ---
Our packages do not install gstreamer-plugins as a dependency because most
Windows apps don't need them at all, and for those that do, which plugin
package they actually need will vary greatly. It makes no sense to force
additional dependencies on everyone when the majority don't need that
functionality at all. Users who do need plugins can easily install the one(s)
they need. 

In addition, the plugins-ugly by definition have legal problems; it would be
inappropriate to force that on any of our users.
