Moreover, for the WebKitGTK+ disabling both ENABLE_VIDEO and ENABLE_WEB_AUDIO does not need GStreamer at all, which further reduces disk and memory usage. For example Buildroot includes a WebKitGTK+ recipe which can disable both [1]
precisely for this reason. So I would also keep ENABLE_WEB_AUDIO.

Good point. Avoiding the GStreamer dependency is significant. I suspect we have more projects besides digital signage that disable both of these build flags, so it would probably be convenient for Igalia if these flags were retained. Although it is annoying to see how often we get bug reports about the ENABLE_VIDEO=OFF build being broken, I suppose that in itself is evidence that the flag is in regular use.

I'm sure we can still identify a large number of other build flags to be removed. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit here!
