Bug#465505: gnome-desktop-environment: Dependency on gstreamer0.10-esd unnecessary?

[Johan Walles]

Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: wishlist


gnome-desktop-environment depends on gstreamer0.10-esd.

I'm using Pulse Audio with its esound compatibility layer.  That way I'm happily using sound under GNOME 
without using gstreamer's esd-support (I'm using libgstreamer-plugins-pulse0.10 instead).

Not sure how that should be expressed using Debian's dependency system, but AFAICT gnome-desktop-environment 
doesn't need any strict dependency on gstreamer0.10-esd.

  Regards //Johan
