Good Morning Sir Wee Robby Snyder! I was googling around looking for an
answer to this.

Check out this excellent 3-part series on the politics and strategy of
gstreamer:

http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5648&page=1

It looks like, starting with gnome2.2, the little gnomes are trying to make
gstreamer the integrated sound server for Gnome, much like arts is for KDE.
So I think everything with audio playback (including video players) in gnome
is being retrofitted to work through gstreamer. So then on the kde lists I
saw some talk about gnome and kde having a common sound server and someone
proposed using gstreamer and that was sternly rebuked even though arts is a
pain. -Eric
