That is exactly why I removed it.. there is no proper replacement for it.
Between gstreamer-0.10 not being supported and the existence of it in
meta-openembedded causing preferred provider problems.  It really needs to be
replaced with something else.  I have no idea 'what else', but I was looking and
most other distributions have dumped it.

I saw some references to security issues in gstreamer-0.10 (not being resolved)
due to it no longer being supported as well, but no specifics.
