Deploying libsoup on macOS with gstreamer 1.20

[Jonas Kvinge]

Hi

I can't get libsoup to work on macOS after upgrading to gstreamer 1.20. 
I get it to work on Windows using libsoup 2.74.2 (with libsoup 3 
playback progress stops around the end of each track).
I build all libraries including gstreamer myself.

I notice that libgstsoup is no longer dynamically linked to libsoup, but 
instead loaded at runtime. libsoup-2.4.1.dylib is deployed in the 
Frameworks directory.

I see no errors logged on startup related to libsoup, even when setting 
GST_DEBUG to 4. I have tried patching the latest changes to 
gstsouploader.c too.

The following environment variables are set before gst_init:

GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/../PlugIns/gio-modules
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER=/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/../PlugIns/gst-plugin-scanner
GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/../PlugIns/gstreamer
GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH=/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/../PlugIns/gstreamer

I have checked that libgstsoup.dylib exists in the gstreamer plugin 
directory, and all dependencies also exist.

libsoup-2.4.1.dylib exists in 
/Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/Frameworks/, copying it into the 
plugin directory does not work either.
