We recommend using the official GStreamer binaries over Homebrew, especially
as GStreamer in Homebrew is [currently broken](https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/3740#discussioncomment-3804964).
#### GStreamer Binaries
You need to download the *two* `.pkg` files from the GStreamer website and
install them, e.g. `gstreamer-1.0-1.20.4-universal.pkg` and
`gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.20.4-universal.pkg`.
After installation, you also need to set the `PATH` environment variable as
follows
```console
$ export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}"
```
Also note that the `pkg-config` from GStreamer should be the first one in
the `PATH` as other versions have all kinds of quirks that will cause
problems.

`gstreamer-1.0-devel-x86_64-1.20.4.msi`. Make sure to select the version that
