GStreamer has a mechanism to tell you about missing plugins and ask the user to install it. On Debian this is handled via /etc/alternatives/gstreamer-codec-install , which usually then points to packagekit and would ask the user to install the gstreamer1.0-gtk3 package then. But as corebird apparently does not use that API in the current version, that's also not a very useful solution. I don't see a solution that a) requires no changes to corebird, b) doesn't let gstreamer1.0-plugins-good (or -bad) pull in GTK as a dependency and defeat the purpose of splitting it off into its own package. We should really just somehow get the new package into testing fast, which is currently blocked on mesa.
