I think this is because we're shipping Banshee with a patch to make it use
Gstreamer1.0, while the Karaoke and StreamRecorder extensions have not been
ported over. Since porting those two extensions ovre to Gstreamer 1.0 is quite
complex, nobody has gotten around to it, and I've disabled the extensions in
saucy.

Once Banshee gets released using the gstreamer-sharp backend instead, we should
be able to re-enable these two packages without issue.
