With this info, it might be worth investigating what else in BLFS relies

A quick look at BLFS systemd revealed that Pidgin and Tumbler use it
optionally
Ok, another update:
Pidgin 3.0 development version has GStreamer-1.0 support already and
Fedora guys have backported the patch to 2.10.7 series:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/pidgin.git/tree/pidgin-2.10.11-gstreamer1.patch
I haven't tried it as I don't use pidgin.
I don't use pidgin either and I don't understand why an IM app would
need sound, but I'm OK with the patch.
A/V conferencing, so not just sound but video too.
As for tumbler, it appears it has been using gstreamer-1.0 for some
time and the dependency wasn't updated:
http://git.xfce.org/xfce/tumbler/tree/acinclude.m4#n161
Confirmed. I'll fix that in my next commit.
Still, xfce4 mixer remains. Maybe it should just be replaced with BLFS
pnmixer that Ken added.
The only mixer I use is alsamixer. I do not have a problem with
archiving xfce4-mixer. There is kmix too, but I suspect many who want
xfce do not want to build the kde libraries.
pnmixer only depends on GTK+2 and alsa-utils, but might need a startup
file for Xfce4. Looked fairly simple last time I checked it.
I'd still list gst-0.10 as an external optional dependency in
libreoffice, seamonkey, firefox, thunderbird, and parole.
Is it really worth it? Should we really list deps of obsolete tech that
has been surpressed by something else, and the former isn't in the book?
That leaves qt4. Do you think it would be possible to drop
qtwebkit-2.3.4.tar.gz into the qt4 tree and build as a part of qt4?
I don't know, really. Haven't tried. The tree looked differently last
time I checked it.
Arg, the tarball is not in a directory! I'll try to investigate later
unless you beat me to it.

Yeah, you have to create a dir and extract it with additional arguments.
I'm not going to look into it any time soon, it's not on my TODO list,
at least not for BLFS (I already did all the work suitable for my system).
