It's in the good-plugins on Arch Linux,

After messing around for a while I managed to build gstreamer and gconf

without most gnome stuff (gconf being the obvious exception, and it

needs ORBIT for some reason).

It's an xml format so it should be possible to edit it, but I managed to

build and install a reasonably stripped down version of gconf.
gconftool-2 is also not easy to handle, the manpage is incomplete and

out of date. I'd appreciate it if you could add the following lines to

your jack FAQ:

gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/musicaudiosink

["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-type=string
gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/audiosink

["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-typ

e=string
Those lines seem to work in case of smasher at least, but sadly not for

firefox (ogg playback).
Thanks, this is a step closer to usable gstreamer.
