It's in the good-plugins on Arch Linux,

After messing around for a while I managed to build gstreamer and gconf
without most gnome stuff (gconf being the obvious exception, and it
needs ORBIT for some reason).

It's an xml format so it should be possible to edit it, but I managed to
build and install a reasonably stripped down version of gconf.

gconftool-2 is also not easy to handle, the manpage is incomplete and
out of date. I'd appreciate it if you could add the following lines to
your jack FAQ:
gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/musicaudiosink
["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-type=string

gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/audiosink
["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-typ
e=string

Those lines seem to work in case of smasher at least, but sadly not for
firefox (ogg playback).

Thanks, this is a step closer to usable gstreamer.
