Sorry for that...I thought KDE has switched to GStreamer as a whole...

Ha...I thought KDE has switched to 1.0 like GNOME...and maybe
misunderstood the purpose of this codecs pack...is it to provide "out
of the box" experience?

As I know...if so, we have to provide both sets of
GStreamer...there're players using 1.0 under KDE, eg: Dragon Player.
And in its specfile, there's no "Requires" for 1.0 codecs. So if users
install it by hand...

Well that's common, because when they package something on OBS, they
just ignore the requirements provided by us. So no result in `zypper
se --requires gstreamer-plugins-bad` doesn't mean it's a good
result...actually we don't have a list about what player uses what
version.

If we just want to support the `default` openSUSE installation, my
arguement might be totally pointless.

Does VLC a Qt player? I think it'll be hard although VLC is indeed a
better player.

What? Where? Can you please drop me a link?

I have "some replacement server" at hand...but I don't know the
requirement, is it just a MediaWiki?
If so, I can host it for at least 2 years.
