It was working perfectly without gstreamer before, so it was a real regression.
This is probably because the application handled failure from WMCreateReader(). I guess we could add in a failure path if winegstreamer is missing, although it's not clear to me that's an improvement, since the application will still fail to do whatever it was creating the async reader for.
And since configure provide a without-gstreamer flag, it shouldnt have to fail.
That's not really how this works. We have dependencies for a reason; certain functionality really does require them, and that functionality will be broken if you use the --without-X flags.
