Right, with audiopreview gone there would only be audio/musique and
productivity/workrave left to migrate/kill before the old gstreamer can
go.
audio/musique can already play most formats (mp3, ogg, flac) without its
current gstreamer-0.10 runtime dependency, but I'd have to take a closer
look at what goes missing when we remove the dependency, i.e. which
formats will no longer be playable.
workrave seems to need proper migration to the newer gstreamer API as it
is not just a simple/optional runtime dependency.

I think it's fair enough to follow that example, OK kn
