Thanks for the quick reply.
I was referring to the fact that the "gst-plugins-base" package directly
depends on gnome-vfs.

eg.
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base_0.10.22.bb
contains:
DEPENDS += "libtheora alsa-lib libsm virtual/libx11 freetype gnome-vfs
libxv"

This does not look very optional to me. I keep thinking that there must
be something very obvious that I have missed.

I do know the difference between avahi and pulseaudio, thank you ;-).

but gst-plugins-base pulling in gnome-vfs in its DEPENDS is not
optional, right?

Anyway, thanks for you quick reply. I guess I must have overlooked
something glaringly obvious here...
