Yes, but we're making a temporary exception for gstreamer-ffmpeg and
gsrteamer1-libav,
because upstream is using libav not ffmpeg (which we ship), and they are
sticking with
stable releases and for libav the libav-0.8.x releases are the latest stable,
and they have
a significantly different API from ffmpeg-0.11 / 1.0 which we are shipping.
Upstream
has already indicated they will fix gstreamer1-libav to work with the next
stable libav
(which syncs it API more or less with the latest ffmpeg), when the libav people
do
their first stable release in their next stable series. At this point we will
switch back
to using system libs.
