Is it possible to make gstreamer0.10-base an optional dependency (currently it is just a dependency) for wxgtk from extra ?
For example, currently, when we just install gnuplot, we must install gstreamer0.10-base !

Thanks.
This task depends upon

gstreamer is linking to usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so and must be a dependency.

yeah, usually optional depdends are used for plugins and binaries. For libraries, it's awkward because you don't know which apps use libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so. I'll probably keep it as depends but I'll thinks about it more.

gnuplot doesn't use libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so so if nothing else use gstreamer on your system, you explicitely remove gstreamer: 'pacman -Rd gstreamer0.10-base gstreamer0.10' or better, rebuild wxgtk with --disable-mediactrl.
