And that way you could also say it needs a gst-plugins-mpeg2dec, gst-plugins-modplug dependency to support those files, and so on and on. Albeit it seems there is a missing dependency on gst-plugins-meta
PNG is generally done by gst-plugins-libpng, not gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf btw, which made me look at the trace, and it seems to specifically ask for gdkpixbufsink; so ok, we might need to add that dependency directly, and review it all upon bump. Hopefully within a week...
