GStreamer won't use W32codecs out of the box, it needs the pitfdll
plugin installed. The easiest way to do this, is to install the package
"gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse" (which is in multiverse).

For me, having gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse and gstreamer0.8-plugins
installed makes gstreamer work with most media.
