[gentoo-user] gst-plugins

When do I need gstreamer?  When I run the "emerge --search
@media-plugins/gst-plugins" command I get a lot of results and I have no
idea what I need to install for what I want to do.

Right now I want to listen to a radio show at
http://www.legendsradio.net/ and it says I need a plugin.  Anyone know
how I find out which one I need?  I pretty sure I need a gst-plugin, but
not sure.

Thanks,

dhk

It's better to say what error you get rather than ask how you fix the problem 
you assume you might be having. You need gstreamer and it's plugins when you 
use an app that uses gstreamer to play media. The thing you use might not use 
gstreamer.

Having said that, the site you mention does not appear to work. I get "server 
down" errors on just about every play link. Maybe the station is barfed?

[rant mode] Many of the gstreamer plugins, but not all of them, have
been updated (in ~x86) to 0.8.12. That some of them are still at
0.8.11 is causing an upgrade/download emerge loop. As all of these
plugins are built from the same source but with different configure
options, would it not be possible to commit all of them to the tree at
the same time?  Only committing some of them causes the ones remaining
at the old version to make portage downgrade the 'main' gst-plugins
ebuild and then upgrade it again next time emerge is run.
