           Summary: [GTK] Should use GStreamer codec installation
                    infrastructure
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: slomo at circular-chaos.org


If a codec is missing for playing some stream with GStreamer, WebKit should
support calling the GStreamer codec installation infrastructure.

Relevant documentation:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-gstpbutilsmissingplugins.html
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-gstpbutilsinstallplugins.html

In short, a message is posted on the bus with information about missing stuff.
WebKit should start the installation then and restart playback after things are
installed. Also all following ERROR/WARNING messages after the missing plugin
message should be dropped until playback is restarted.
