Motivation for this change

The gstreamer plugin provides support for additional common
file/tagging formats like id3 tags in mp3 files. In addition, it
e.g. exposes more tags than the FLAC plugin for FLAC files.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip" (last successful run on 2020-04-28)
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size: 86.71 MB (52.8%)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Questions

The impact on the package closure size is quite substantial. Should gstreamerSupport be false by default? I'll leave it true but added a comment about it.

This will only have an effect on the binary, not the library. The codecs will need to be provided through a patch like in #57619. See https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-language-gnome for more information.

I pushed only a comment about the package closure size so people needing a small closure know how to cut the size down.

I also successfully ran nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip" again.
@jtojnar, @doronbehar Would you mind posting this PR in that discourse thread?

According to the top post it's the reviewers, so that committers know te PR is approved and don't have to think about it.
