=============================================

This is a debian packaging issue. You are using a gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package
from debian main in combination with a much newer/different libavcodec version
from a non-debian repository than the one the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package was
built against.

Installing the (newer) gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package from experimental might
make things work properly. Alternatively, downgrade libavcodec to the one in
debian/main.

I'll try to improve the error message a bit:

commit 8d40c6357d024c0a54262429ff688756049b0135

    ffmpegdec: improve error message when set_caps is called but we have no
mapping

    This may happen e.g. if gst-ffmpeg is compiled against an external
    libavcodec and the external lib is upgraded.

    See e.g.
