I looked in Parabola's blacklist <https://projects.parabola.nu/blacklist.git/tree/> and didn't find issues listed with gst-plugins-ugly, so I guess that's a good sign. I've attached a preliminary 'gst-plugins-ugly' package for Guix. Note that this depends on commit 23da88f61e82e2b32d6dedb3af467f665cd03bf5 "gnu: liba52: Build shared library", which I pushed to master just a few minutes ago. Mark
