I have version(libmpeg2) == 0.3.1. I see that the gst-plugins configure
script checks for version(libmpeg2 >= 0.3.1) (line 40923). My config.log
shows that this test was satisied. I should have been ok - I hope the
appropriate developer can be notified of the problem. For the minute,
I'll just use 'configure --disable-mpeg2dec'.
