Details

Having installed archlinux on my laptop, I attempted to use sound-juicer to rip some CDs to ogg / vorbis files. I did pacman -Syu , then pacman -S sound-juicer. I accepted all the packages it wanted for dependancies and it installed fine.

When I opened SoundJuicer to get started all was good, until it started spitting out 36-45Mb .ogg files for 4min tracks. I messed around with the encoding profiles for 20mins and then realised it might be encoding them to FLAC, because it can't find oggvorbis encoders.

After hunting for ages for oggenc, I found it in vorbis-tools. This was not what I needed because sound-juicer, as everyone except me knew, is a gstreamer app. I needed gstreamer0.10-ogg-0.10.7-1 AND gstreamer0.10-vorbis-0.10.7-1

I installed the two gstreamer packages and everything worked. What I would like to know is why gstreamer0.10-ogg-0.10.7-1 and gstreamer0.10-vorbis-0.10.7-1 are not dependencies for sound-juicer? It was quite an obscure way for sound-juicer to act, what with it not complaining about missing encoders.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  gnome-media, which contains the media profiles, depends on the gstreamer plugins we have profiles for now.

because the aren't needed to run soundjuicer.
we tend to keep the deps as low as possible, i will change this to a feature request because it isn't a bug.

Would it be possible to add recommendations to the post install output. Just some text informing the user that for ogg/vorbis encoding they will need packages x,y,z. You are right, it is a feature request rather than a bug, thanks.
