I have the hope of using gstreamer on mobile devices and all kinds of other
hardware systems. To make this maintainable and usable all packages should be
build with this in mind and dependency's should be chosen carefully.

I know packing is more a responsibility of distribution maintainers, but I
always try to get upstream solution, in the form of developers understanding,
support and recommendations to others.

I use the xfce desktop environment, it uses 32 MB MEM and 1.5GB SSD space, this
can be used in embedded environments.

Now the real problem. I use debian sid, and when I install totem-gstreamer, it
brings in the complete gnome desktop with loads and loads of dependency's. This
is only to watch video and audio with a bluetooth headset, and this in on this
moment only workable with gstreamers good low-latency systems, xine does not
work here.

please make all gstreamer components able to build, so they are usable platform
independent, we can use virtual packages to create full and minimal
recommendation installs.
