Sorry, I probably should have mentioned that I'm trying the build from

to porting gnome-media to use gstreamer-0.9. rather than 0.8.  I'm praying 
that the maintainer has already done this in HEAD, and all I have to do is 
integrate his changes.

What ended up being the problem is that the configure script couldn't find 
the old 0.8 gsteamer-libs package in the pkg-config, so it didn't bother 
including all the gstreamer stuff.

Right now, from cvs things don't compile with gstreamer-0.9.x, which is 
the only 
option that I know of.

The upstream maintainer has not ported over gnome-media to gstreamer-0.9, 
so this may take me a while to fix.

I'll move it into broken for now, as you did.
