Hi,

During discussion of the removal of GStreamer 0.8, the topic was brought up
again and Josselin Mouette proposed a patch which I'm going to attach:

The attached patch should be at least enough for Debian. Finally working
h264 videos with totem-gstreamer, hear hear!

That's just a hack, and for upstream, this requires of course some
integration in the configure script, but that's definitely not
impossible.
