It's a pity I cannot update the description and remove my confusion about
gst-ffmpeg.
This bug let me know flvdemux.
> ... the plugin was blacklisted because it couldn't be loaded ...
As I have shown it with these two commands above
$ gst-inspect-0.10 flvdemux
$ gst-inspect-0.10 -b
flvdemux was NOT blacklisted to my best understanding (just libgstpython.so was
and still is).
I suppose that if it had been at any moment, gst should have permanently
stopped trying to load it.
The autoload problem was, of course, repetitive.

flvdemux WAS ALREADY correctly loaded but invisible to gst-inspect.
After removing registry.i486.bin, no loading or reloading of flvdemux took
place.
flvdemux just became visible.
gstreamer simply started to use flvdemux and stopped wanting, trying and
failing to load it.

If there was any other reason to reload flvdemux, gst should normally have
succeeded loading such a common plugin.

Well, I'm no gstreamer knowledgeable, but I think that this all makes a
problem.
My feeling is that registry.i486.bin had somehow entered a funny state such
that flvdemux was considered neither installed nor blacklisted and that
removing that state made the installed status apparent.

Up to you to decide whether gstreamer should avoid or work around that
situation.
And hence my preferring the WONTFIX status to show there's an issue probably
left open.
It took me months of Web browsing before finally meeting you in here.   Thank
you!!!!
I hope finding this text will benefit other people, too.
