Banshee uses GStreamer and GStreamer only. Feel free to write an Mplayer or
Xine backend. Totem supports a Xine backend, but we do not package it, and it's
likely to be deprecated upstream anyway.
But the frameworks don't matter... we can't ship or distribute the codec you
are looking for.
Build or install ffmpeg support for GStreamer and make sure ffmpeg has the
codec plugin you are looking for, and Banshee will magically play the content
you want. There might be native codec support for the content you want to play
in GStreamer too, but it doesn't matter, because we can't ship it.
GStreamer is a plugin-based system. We can only ship the plugins that are not
encumbered by patents.
It's not ridiculous.
