OK. Now I understand.

673202 is fixed. Can you update your jhbuild version to 3.5.5 and see if you can get it to work with autogen-sh="autoreconf"?

It's also update time (as soon as I finish a big change for Gnucash, so I hope to start next week), and GStreamer has finally released 1.0 over the summer. It's significant because they're now using liborc instead of liboil, the latter being deprecated [1].

One other thing: What's the attraction of running GStreamer on a Mac? Doesn't OSX already do all of that natively? I've been keeping the modulesets going because Richard had them, but I've never understood why they're there.
