gstreamer-plugins as dependency from nvidia container passthrough

[elbbit01]

Hi guys,
sorry, I am a little bit confused trying to get some clarity regarding the gstreamer-plugins.
We are using the nvidia-runtime-container and I see nvidia-container-passthrough is installing some gstreamer-plugins on my system, which is ok.
I see also that there are explicitly some gstreamer plugins with patches available as .bbappend which is even better to be able to install them from source and have control of which patches are there built.

What I am missing is, since the passthrough looks like its installing the .so downloaded directly from a nvidia repo, if these libraries are built with the plugins or not, and I would also like to understand why are you not letting all gstreamer plugins be built from source.

Sorry if I am missing something obvious. I hope somebody can give me clarity.

Thanks in advance,
Alvaro.

It's mainly to do with library/symbol dependencies inside the NVIDIA containers. You'll find some info about the problem in #857 .
