This is primarily true if the code uses the playbin module for gstreamer,
which most people do, and Po Lu is explicitly NOT doing. The manual process
they intend will instead miss some codecs (etc) that are supported on the
system, but it won't unknowingly load proprietary code (well, I guess
modulo some extreme behavior on the system maintainer's part).

Hope that helps,
