Those are the GStreamer base plug-ins. The binding doesn't use them directly, but it's a dependency of WebKit. I don't know how WebKit is compiled on Windows, but if it has that dependency, GStreamer must be available, too.

Short of installing the complete GStreamer system, I cannot lay my hands on the libgstbase dll. In any case, more dependencies might surface if I were to install this single .dll. It all looks like a huge machinery to do a simple (?) thing, at least a thing that can be described in a few lines of code.

Yep, a web browser engine is a huge machinery, alas. At least on most Linux and probably BSD systems, the system supports installing them or has it all preinstalled already.

However, I do think you can pick just that one library out of the GStreamer distribution.
