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?

Still a good read though.
