0.8 and 0.10 are installable in parallel, but not compatible.
Applications need to decide which one to use at compile time, and you
usually can't change that afterwards without re-compiling or upgrading
that application.

If you want your applications to use GStreamer 0.10, the easiest way is
probably to upgrade/switch to a distro where applications do that by
default (e.g. FC5 or Ubuntu Dapper).
