That page was for Android 2.2 or 2.3, it won't work anymore. Currently
there is no direct support for replacing stagefright with GStreamer
anymore, and many things have changed in Android land anyway.

If it's just for an application, you can easily use GStreamer for that.
Just inside the application instead of in all applications then.


For replacing stagefright with GStreamer in a meaningful way, it would
be needed to write some wrapper around GStreamer that provides the
stagefright API... or replace all stagefright usage with GStreamer
everywhere, which is going to be problematic with 3rd party
applications that also use stagefright directly (and there are many
nowadays).
