Thanks!,

Actually upstream has recently done a new release and moved to a newer ffmpeg 
snapshot with the new API. I've checked there changes against your patch and 
you and them have fixed everything identical.

I've just fired of a build of the new gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.6 for devel, which 
should build fine against the new ffmpeg (verified locally). Actually, 0.10.6 
won't build against the ffmpeg in F-10, but thats not an issue 0.10.6 seems to 
contain some interesting changes, so its better left to rawhide only anyways.
