I had problems with gstreamer after the current upgrade. I found that the main 
sound system was linking to the gstreamer1 port, and I had plugins missing as 
a result.

telepathy-farsight pulls in gstreamer-0.10 as part of its dependencies so I've 
ended up with both versions of gstreamer co-existing. So far, it all seems to 
work ok.
