    <thetext>Historically disabling multimedia support has been achieved with:

  cmake -DPORT=&lt;WPE|GTK&gt; -DENABLE_VIDEO=OFF ...

Then WebAudio was added to the mix, and we started using:

  cmake -DPORT=&lt;WPE|GTK&gt; -DENABLE_VIDEO=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_AUDIO=OFF ...

Now we also have WebCodecs, which means this is becoming annoying:

  cmake -DPORT=&lt;WPE|GTK&gt; -DENABLE_VIDEO=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_AUDIO=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_CODECS=OFF ...

There is in interval USE_GSTREAMER variable which could be promoted to an
option, which along with adding the needed dependencies would allow to use:

  cmake -DPORT=&lt;WPE|GTK&gt; -DUSE_GSTREAMER=OFF ...

This would be handy because in nearly in all situations where multimedia
support gets disabled are builds targeting embedded use-cases where
the goal is to 1.) actually disable features that won&apos;t be used, and 2.) at
the same time completely avoid needing GStreamer.</thetext>

    <thetext>Oh, and we also have ENABLE_SPEECH_SYNTHESIS which also needs USE_GSTREAMER.</thetext>
