Sorry, it looks like I was a bit quick to declare your setup broken :)

So it seems you're running 'make check' in a gst-plugins-base built against an
installed core. 'make check' then uses a test environment like this:

TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = (snip) ...
  GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH=    \
 
GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(top_builddir)/gst:$(top_builddir)/sys:$(top_builddir)/ext:$(GST_PLUGINS_DIR)


where GST_PLUGINS_DIR is the directory where the core plugins can be found,
which is /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ in this case. So far so good.

The problem seems to be that when the registry scans the available plugins it
does it dir-by-dir, replacing any previously loaded plugins/elementfactories by
the same name if there are duplicates. So in this case the old installed -base
plugins trump the local new ones.

So we need to fix our testing environment to put the local plugins last, I
think.

Could you see what happens if you use:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(GST_PLUGINS_DIR):$(top_builddir)/gst:$(top_builddir)/sys:$(top_builddir)/ext

instead? (if it still fails, could you upload another log please?)
