I think one of the issues with gstreamer has been that it does not
play DVDs. Once that has been fixed, I am guessing that we can go with
gstreamer for Ubuntu. Kubuntu uses xine for all of its codecs as it
works better than gstreamer (for now).

I am not sure how gstreamer works with the w32codecs and such since I
am on a powerpc machine, so no comment :)
