I use Xubuntu 14.04. When I try to open a video file, Parole pops up a dialog box, say that "Gstreamer backend error, could not initialise supporting library".
This is the output from the terminal, with gst debug level = 2:
somporn@somporn-P4M900T-M2:~$ parole --gst-debug-level=2 SomeVideo.webm

You'll notice that it doesn't try to use pulseaudio, cause gst to failed to find a supported audio sink.
The workaround is to install "gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio" manually.

[Impact]
* Some users are unable to use parole because the pulseaudio backend cannot be opened.
* The upload fixes this issue by adding gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio to recommends. Most (all?) ubuntu distributions use pulseaudio as a backend, so this can help future users as well.
[Test Case]
* On a clean system, run parole and try to open a video file.
* The error "Gstreamer backend error, could not initialise supporting library" may be displayed, preventing the user from viewing their media.
[Regression Potential]
* This upload adds a single gstreamer1.0 backend to recommends, so the risk of regression is slim to none.
