gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good is missing soup, needed for radiotray-ng

[AshleyYakeley]

Describe the bug

According to the GStreamer website, the "good" plugins package should contain the "soup" plugin. However, the nix package gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good does not.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install packages gst_all_1.gstreamer.bin and gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good
2. run gst-inspect-1.0 | grep soup

Result: nothing found.

As a result, radiotray-ng cannot play any streams, failing with "could not create souphttpsrc element".

Expected behavior

gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good should include soup.

This fixes the problem for radiotray-ng, thanks.

Does this mean that gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good is OK?

not really, in my opinion as it doesn't work out of the box. there was a PR to partially fix gstreamer #264293 but seems like it was missing glib-networking and didn't want to add it for some reason and was abandoned.

if the gstreamer pkg isn't modified then adding glib-networking and libsoup to the ld_library_path is a work around.

[SuperSandro2000]

The issue title is misleading. The loading of the library is broken but gst-plugins-good is actually compiled against libsoup.
