kaffeine 0.7 offers a gstreamer part, which needs the xvideo plugin (at least this solved an error about missing xvimagesink for me).

To actually play videos with the gstreamer part, you need e.g. gst-plugins-ffmpeg. I don't know if it good to make those a dependency of kaffeine. But if gstreamer is available but without those plugins, kaffeine shows a lot of error messages if you choose it. Perhaps it is more a kaffeine problem, b/c it should (silently) check if a gst plugin with the required feature is available, before trying to play e.g. the kaffeine logo animation.
Gstreamer herd, what do you think?
Diego, see Bug 100872 ff. Kevin, do yourself a favor and remove -fPIC from your compiler flags.
Thanks, the depend is already present in kaffeine-0.8.2-r1
