gst-editing-services compiled in OE

I discovered that 'gst-editing-services' is another dependency of Pitivi, added to these:

There is no recipe in OE, so I attempted to compile it on the host system. Stuffed around for about 3 hours, unable to compile, ninja is doing something stupid.

Then I decided to have a go at cross-compiling it in OpenEmbedded, and I have to laugh, it compiled almost straight away. I got a bit of help looking at other gstreamer recipes, and I created meta-quirky/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-editing-services_1.18.2.bb:

Not sure if all those deps are needed.

Still not there. Tried to run Pitivi:

# pitivi
- gtk GStreamer plug-in not found on the system
Missing soft dependency:
- GSound not found on the system
    -> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete
#

I thought that the gtk plugin is there. Oh well, will see if can fix.
