GNOME Web (Epiphany) crashes without gst-plugins-bad

Hi Guys,

on a new Arch install (with GNOME as DE), I just came across what I had believed to be resolved decades ago already:

I installed Epiphany, and when I opened youtube.com, the session crashed and I was asked to reload the page - only to see the same error again. Upon further investigation, I found that epiphany actually requires gst-plugins-good because it needs autoaudiosink (to play videos on Youtube).

I wanted to put this here in case someone runs into the same issue. (I'm not sure whether I should add it to the Wiki and/or request a package update, hence my post.

Cheers,
