GStreamer was disabled with enable_copyleft set to no by default: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/configure.in?revision=1213190&view=markup#l1252 Removing enable_copyleft left enable_gstreamer=yes http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/configure.in?revision=1213190&view=markup#l214 Wether Gstreamer should be considered as copy-left or as a system library is not clear yet, at least I didn't get any conclusion on this thread http://s.apache.org/Pxk IMO it should be disabled by default, but enabled in AOO builds (a release in Linux with no audio and sound support is a no-go; Oracle understood this, they built GStreamer by default and put the plugin in the brand packages but without making the system GStreamer library a requirement; for sure this has to be changed, may be moving the plugin to its own package and adding the system requirement to the deb/rpm package).
