Just updating the BD isn't enough - the build fails during configure.

But there's an upstream ticket about switching to gstreamer 1.0 with a
recently added patch.  I'd appreciate a quick review from someone who
has more idea about gstreamer's API than I do if you have a few minutes
(it's not a huge patch):

I can tell the configure part needs improving, at least to make it
upstream-able, which makes me wonder about its general quality.

I made an upload of wxwidgets3.0 just yesterday which added a new binary
package, so it's currently in the NEW queue.  I'd rather minimise the
time it sits there, so I'd prefer a switch to gstreamer1.0 to either be
uploaded very soon or to wait until the package clears NEW.

Cheers,
