Stupid question: Which Ubuntu packages do I need to install to get this
to work?

I flailed about and finally got it to build, but I'm not sure exactly
what I needed to install.  I think it's a subset of

libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer1.0-dev

We should probably update the wiki with real package names for Ubuntu
and other distros.
