thanks!

ok, in installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, so now have good, bad, and
ugly.  following advice on the net of a thoushand lies, to get the h.264
decoder i also installed gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.

as a normal user i get

$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///home/randy/test.mov
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory

my guess is this is an output issue, though being a n00b, i am far from
sure.  but this is a remote ubuntu server in a rack.

i have sshed in -X, so it should be able to tunnel back to my X server.

otoh, what i really want is to play it over the net to a quicktime
client via a uri.
