As an update, Arch linux updated their gstreamer packages. My versions are now: 

gst-vaapi: 0.5.9-1
gstreamer: 1.4.0-1
libva: 1.3.1-2
gst-plugins-ugly: 1.4.0-2
totem: 3.12.1-2

With these packages issues that people had playing HTML5 videos in Firefox with
gst-vaapi installed seem to have gone away (at least they have for me), but,
Totem doesn't seem to play any files I throw at it. It just shows a white
screen, sometimes with a message that says: Gstreamer encountered a general
stream error.

Running totem --debug does not seem to output any additional information. If I
uninstall gst-vaapi then totem works as expected (albeit without GPU hardware
acceleration of course).

Perhaps this is now more of a Totem issue than a Gstreamer one? I'd be happy to
provide any additional info if you can tell me what you need.
