Not entirely true. While this is technically correct as in "you can't
compile gst without floats", in practice that code isn't executed unless
you actually process float data. Everything depends on what plugins you
use. I know of at least one person using GStreamer regularly on VIA
Epia, which isn't widely known for its exceptional FPU performance...
