Ah yes, that's expected. when packaging this we agreed not to add any of
the gst-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} to the inputs and let the user install
what they want instead [0]. Although, while we defenetely shouldn't add
'bad' and 'ugly', I don't see any reason not to add 'good' to make sure
it all works out of the box. But then, the dialog hints the user should
install them so that's not so bad as it is.

Basically, I don't mind either way :-).

Thanks for testing!
