[Sugar-devel] [PATCH Jukebox 2/8] Remove "capsfilter" filter because of performance

[Manuel Kaufmann]

Without this filter the performance to reproduce videos is great and
in audio files the visualization performance is improved as well. The
only consequense is the text (artist, track, etc) is rendered without
antialiasing.
