There seems to be no FLV demuxer in GStreamer 0.10 at the moment.

There could be workaround if you would add flash video (the codec) support to
the matroska demuxer. The FLV demuxer in mplayer/ffmpeg doesn't support seeking
with the examples given above. So I muxed them with ffmpeg from .flv-->.avi and
then from .avi-->.mkv with "mkvmerge" (and fixed sync with it). They play fine
in mplayer but gstreamer ignores the video, just plays the audio stream (MP3).



You can find a lot of flash videos on www.youtube.com, e.g.:

Embedded: http://www.youtube.com/w/nofx-live?v=7884Tl3lyoU
for downloading type:
wget -O test.flv http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=7884Tl3lyoU
ffmpeg -i test.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy test.avi
mkvmerge -o test.mkv --sync 1:100 test.avi
mplayer test.mkv


This, of course, would just be a workaround. A native FLV demuxer would be
better.
