+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:

+ http://gstreamer.net/releases/debian/gstreamer-lame-0.3.3-1.diff
+
+Ogg Vorbis provides a good alternative to mp3s. Try the
+gstreamer-vorbis package. For more information:
