Once an for all, does GStreamer support .pls playlists?

Hi.
Having troubles with playing a particular radio stream in Clementine, and
getting the reply for one of the maintainers there that "It's working for me
with gstreamer 1.18.2" whereas I have "1.14.4-1", I built from source the
latest version, GStreamer 1.19.0 and tried the following:

```
[gst-master] buster at debian:~/gst-build/build$ gst-launch-1.0 --version
gst-launch-1.0 version 1.19.0
GStreamer 1.19.0 (GIT)
Unknown package origin
[gst-master] buster at debian:~/gst-build/build$ 

```

```
