Nope, gst-plugins-bad has a plugin to use the frei0r plugins from
GStreamer. Instead libgavl has to be fixed to work for you ;)

To summarize this bug for the gavl maintainer: The problem is, that gavl
produces a SIGILL on Bégault's x86. It's probably using some instruction
set extension that isn't available there, like SSE2 or something.
