Can you please add support for WebM in VLC and gstreamer?

VLC 1.1 is available in the Trisquel repository but it doesn't play WebM videos, even though videolan.org says that WebM support was added in version 1.1. I tried to install the package libvpx0 but it didn't change anything.

It looks like newer versions of gstreamer plugins are also needed. The WebM project says that at you need at least gst-plugins-good 0.10.23 for the WebM container and at least gst-plugins-bad version 0.10.19 for VP8 video.

Thanks for reading this.

I've just tested and WebM support is available in Trisquel 4.5.
