libgstamrnb.so missing from gstreamer-plugins-good

[Jonas Bonn]

This file used to come from the -ugly gstreamer plugins package: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstamrnb.so

This plugin has been moved to the -good set in version 1.22 (upstream gstreamer commit 83026f62890b97904f3da0138456680eac3e0cef). Unfortunately the plugin appears to be missing from the Ubuntu "noble" package... presumably missing a buildtime option to have it built.

Thank you for your bug report. They are currently disabled because the required libraries are currently in universe

https://salsa.debian.org/gstreamer-team/gst-plugins-good1.0/-/commit/748c622e

Could you tell us what's the impact for you?

I develop and distribute a proprietary application that works with AMR
encoded streams. Since Ubuntu 22.04 we've been able to distribute this on
top of the regular Ubuntu GStreamer packages.

Without having this plugin in the Ubuntu package I'll need to go back to
distributing an alternative GStreamer build along with our application.
It's a minor nuisance, but we were already doing that earlier when we
required a newer GStreamer than Ubuntu provided (with Ubuntu 20.04).

It's a regression that these plugins have just disappeared... but I'm not
quite sure what the best solution would be here:
i) Provide a second gstreamer-plugins-good-universe package that lives in
universe but built from the -good repository.
ii) Repackage these plugins as a separate package...

or...

iii) Just drop these plugins altogether (like you've done) because they're
probably barely used by anyone... they're pretty specialized.

Thanks,
Jonas
