Hmm, I think an item that fell off my todo list was to make the gstreamer 
pulseaudio dependency conditional on pulseaudio being in DISTRO_FEATURES after 
I added that feature. I think we should still do that, not sure if it's too 
late for the current development cycle though - at least it's not too 
intrusive since pulseaudio is a backfilled feature.

Cheers,
Paul
