WebKitGTK requires gstreamer1.0-plugins-good in order to play audio.
In earlier versions if the plugins were not found it would simply not
play any audio but continue browsing (that's why the plugins are not a
hard dependency but a recommendation).

This changed in WebKitGTK 2.32, so we either have to make it a
dependency or make it work again without the plugins installed.

I'll fix this for bullseye, but I'm not sure if there will be a new
security update just for this.
