This might speak to the craziness of the gstreamer plugin ecosystem - good/bad/ugly might be a fun maintenance mnemonic, but `voaacenc` is actually in `bad` - not `ugly`. Most plugins you'd want to use aren't in `good`. How are you supposed to actually use "well supported plugins" with gstreamer? Is it just to not use gstreamer at all?
I thought I had read this story before, and it seems like a similar account was published to this company's blog in 2023 but since taken down: https://web.archive.org/web/20250624191934/https://www.recal...
Still a good read though.
