Hi Marius!

`gstreamer' is propagated by the gst plugins.

WebKitGTK-based browsers look for the plugins in the GST_PLUGIN_PATH
and the GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variables.
I retested today: actually I realized that it works if I clear
~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 :p
The problem is that the cache goes stale when the path to the plugins
changes.
It's a rather general problem with Guix, I think it's been discussed
before.
If we had a way to test for the cache staleness, we could add some code
to the Epiphany wrapper that clears the cache if stale.
