Plugins in gst-plugins-bad aren't usually "unmaintained", they just
haven't been promoted to -ugly (if they involve patent-encumbered
format) or -good (if not patent-encumbered) yet.  Well-formed bugs
filed against -bad plugins get fixed pretty quickly.

I've filed a number against -bad and qtdemux in particular and they
normally get fixed promptly.  So don't sweat on that score.
