Many thanks!

I was able to install binaries for gstreamer-1.0 in Ubuntu alongside ...-0.10
and after a few tweaks (decodebin2 -> decodebin, ffmpegcolorspace ->
videoconvert, gst_pad_get_caps -> gst_pad_query_caps, ...) was able to
successfully run my app, both on x64 and arm.

However, of all the video sinks:

$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i video | grep -i sink
aasink:  aasink: ASCII art video sink
cacasink:  cacasink: A colored ASCII art video sink
clutter:  cluttersink: Clutter video sink
video4linux2:  v4l2sink: Video (video4linux2) Sink
autodetect:  autovideosink: Auto video sink
fbdevsink:  fbdevsink: fbdev video sink
debugutilsbad:  fpsdisplaysink: Measure and show framerate on videosink
xvimagesink:  xvimagesink: Video sink
ximagesink:  ximagesink: Video sink
inter:  intervideosink: Internal video sink



aasink and cacasink work but useless,
and only autovideosink, xvimagesink, ximagesink work OK, whereas others fail:
(maybe I should report it elsewhere?)

Additionally mirsink on arm (does not exist on x64) also fails
