Subject: gnome-decoder: missing dependency on gstreamer1.0-gl

Package: gnome-decoder
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: cbeau@torontomu.ca

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to run gnome-decoder on Google Pixel 3a running Droidian (rolling release), I get the error:

Missing GStreamer Base Plug-ins: BoolError { message: "Failed to find element factory with name 'glsinkbin' for creating element", filename: "/usr/share/cargo/registry/gstreamer-0.23.5/src/element_factory.rs", function: "gstreamer::element_factory::ElementBuilder::build::{{closure}}", line: 286 }

Installing gstreamer1.0-gl which is not listed as a dependency for gnome-decoder resolved this critical error and allowed me to run gnome-decoder.

Cheers
