You could create a local GIT branch with those changes, and then point
recipes/gstreamer-1.0.recipe and recipes/gstreamer-1.0-static.recipe to
that. You would add a new remote with some name (e.g. 'local') and
pointing to file:///path/to/git and then select a commit from there with
the commit variable, e.g. commit = 'local/master'.
