this is a common mistake, gstreamer does not need gnome, it does not need x, 
nor does it need gtk+.

just checked on debian:
the basic framework (libgstreamer-0.6.0) needs
Depends: libc6, libglib2.0-0, libpopt0, libxml2, zlib1g
the only ones, not very common is libglib2.0.

package           -    size in bytes
libglib2.0-0             292160
libgstreamer-0.6.0 160028

this is about 350kB. for a complete media framework.
and glib is used in much more programs than gtk+/gnome ones.

but nevertheless, we will see what will be the framework, when we have first 
code.
