That's a question about my motivation of writing this player, nothing to 
do with dependencies, i'm not going to post my motivation here, but the 
idea is to have a GStreamer alternative to xfmedia (xine based), and not 
to clone Totem with no gnome dependencies, i started learning GStreamer 
by reading aldegonde, totem's and other GStreamer players code, but at 
the end i didn't use the bacon video widget here, the backend that i 
wrote is something different but of course inspired from totem/aldegonde...

I really don't care about licenses, but also i don't understand, the 
license of the player is like totem's one (GPL2), but the only one 
exception is i have no installer for missing proprietary GStreamer plugins.

I'm not sure what do you mean, i don't think Totem will benefit from a 
fixes in Parole, probably the other way round.
