Not technically, there is no plugin concept or run-time dependency 
detection at this point, but I'll pass the message upstream.

Brasero is meant to be tightly integrated with Gnome, so what you see as 
a CD burning application requiring a video player, I see as a 
well-integrated Gnome application requiring core Gnome components (such 
as media player and search service) to function correctly. It just so 
happens that totem and beagle are the current Gnome defauls of said 
components (and installed by default as well), though of course that 
might change in the future with the maturation of the tracker project. I 
do agree things would be simpler if brasero were able to do run-time 
detection of these components, but I'm not even sure that's technically 
possible right now.
