I don't think this is a sane choice.
Gst-plugins uses libdvdnav which uses xine-lib and xine-ui (I wouldn't know why, arch is the only distro where I've had this issue).

Currently, the guys (and girl) at Fluendo are working on totem-gstreamer which they are trying to get finished in time for Fedora Core 3. Anyway, when this is done xine will no longer be needed for Gnome users, so it would be pretty annoying if gstreamer still depended on xine by then.

Also, gst-plugins doesn't seem to include Theora yet.
This task depends upon

Arch Linux seems to be targeted to more technical users, and as a techincal user, stuff like this pisses me off the most :)

It's like something I read on the Intel website a while ago when trying to find BIOS upgrades:
"Procedure for non-windows users: go to Windows, open Explorer ..."

GStreamer and Xine do about the same thing (well, GStreamer does much more, but will replace xine) so it's not a sane choice to make one depend on the other.
You might as well let Gnome depend on KDE.

libdvdnav will still exist in gst-plugins, it is needed for dvd-menu navigation.
But i will build it without xine so consider it done.
