+Notes:
+
+Various plugins in the upstream source are not yet packaged.  This is
+most likely due to:
+
+  1 - upstream considers them too unstable
+  2 - libraries they depend on not being in Debian.
+
+Your favorite codec isn't wrapped as a plugin?  External programs can be
+used to process streams.  Take a look at "pipefilter" element or try
+something like this:
+
+  $ mkfifo fifo
+  $ gst-launch myaudiosrc ! disksink location=fifo &
+  $ cat fifo | my_encoder > output_file
+
+mp3 encoding plugins are NOT packaged.  Specifically, the LAME plugin is
+NOT packaged due to Debian not including the LAME libraries.  Please see
+the following links for more information:
+
+  http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package
+  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0006/msg01213.html
+  http://www.mp3dev.org/
+
+It was packaged prior to 0.3.3-2.  In case anyone is interested the
+unsupported diff might be found at:

+Ogg Vorbis provides a good alternative to mp3s.  Try the
+gstreamer-vorbis package.  For more information:
