Trying to run a simple pipeline with x264enc fails for me:

gst-launch videotestsrc ! x264enc ! fakesink 
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
0:00:00.188806784 25600  0x98f3060 ERROR                x264enc
gstx264enc.c:949:gst_x264_enc_parse_options:<x264enc0> Bad value for option
b-pyramid=0 (Note: a NULL value for a non-boolean triggers this)
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstVideoTestSrc:videotestsrc0:

Additional debug info:

I have x264 2:0.85.1448+git1a6d32-4 from ubuntu universe. It's been suggested
that the version of x264 may be too old to work with recent x264enc changes, in
which case the minimum acceptable x264 version should be bumped. It's currently
build 55.
