      The <application>GStreamer Bad Plug-ins</application> package contains a set
      a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the rest. They might be
      close to being good quality, but they're missing something - be it a good
      code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer,
      or some actual wide use.  Also see the <xref linkend="gst-plugins-good"/>,
      <xref linkend="gst-plugins-ugly"/> and <xref linkend="gst-ffmpeg"/> packages.
