Yes, that's it. So it's a dependency bug in gnome-media: the only thing 
that ties it to gstreamer0.10-gconf is a dependency on 
gstreamer0.10-audiosink. However that's also provided by 
gstreamer0.10-alsa which is the package that was installed on my system.

  gnome-media 2.30.0-1 depends on:
      gstreamer0.10-alsa | gstreamer0.10-audiosink

  Both gstreamer0.10-alsa and gstreamer0.10-gconf provide:
      gstreamer0.10-audiosource
      gstreamer0.10-audiosink

So it seems that gnome-media should explicitly depend on 
gstreamer0.10-gconf.

Alternatively the message that tells the user to install the 
'gst-plugins-good module' should be changed to recommend installing 
gstreamer0.10-gconf but that would leave gnome-sound-recorder broken by 
default.
