That's understandable. It's yet another lib that needs to be provided, 
along with the actual decoder libs.

I've said it before, but I really wish Linux had something akin to 
DirectShow. A reasonably guaranteed-to-exist component that kept track 
of available system codecs and provided access to them through a 
standardized interface. As nice as GStreamer can be (functionally 
speaking), it's not that ubiquitous that it can be relied on for 
decoding. And using it requires explicitly linking to it (which pulls in 
glib and some other dependencies), so it can't even be used on an 
if-found basis.
