I think there are only 2 solutions:
- Add a meta package, e.g. gstreamer-codecs-all that can be used to make
   sure all available codecs are installed. Some people complain about
   &quot;bad&quot; and &quot;ugly&quot; so using those names more is not a good idea.
- Use the packagekit gstreamer plugin, so players install the correct
   plugins on demand.
