I finally got it working. First I reinstalled all the gstreamer-0_10, without
any result. The I tried to fix another problem (kmail 5.3 crashing, probably
because of conflict with the driver for nvidia-card), where I ended up with
including the Factory-repository to cboltz and did a "zypper dup". In the
process it did include or upgrade a few gstreamerpackages (sorry I did not
take note of which ones). Anyway, after that it worked :-)
So maybe a "zypper dup" (or adding gstreamer-plugin-libav) could be the
sollution also for others?
