Details

Description:
Mediaplayer in openoffice does not play
Mediafiles inserted in presentations does not play

installing gstreamer0.10-good-plugins and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg solves the problem

I think that those should at least be mentioned as an optional dependency and mentioned in wiki if not made into a real dep

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/go-openoffice 3.1.1.1-1
It is also the case with the ordinary openoffice package

Steps to reproduce:
remove gstreamer0.10-good-plugins and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and try to play
This task depends upon

I am sorry then, not so experienced in this perhaps, but I did not notice any post-install messages, which I often see regarding optional dependencies. I might have overlooked it. Then I took a look at the package page:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/go-openoffice
where I don't see optional dependencies mentioned and not gstreamer.
Now that the package is in extra, I don't see the pkgbuild either, where I am now guessing that they are listed. At least other beginners can now find the information in this report, thanks

Run "pacman -Qi go-openoffice" or "pacman -Si go-openoffice"

Optionally can make a feature request to list optdepends on the website for packages.
