Hi, gstreamer-devel:
Unfortunately, in my Ubuntu 7.10, trying to uninstall the gstreamer
package(sudo apt-get remove gstreamer-xxx) will also remove a lot of
packages with dependency, some are very important for gnome. And there
is no updated gstreamer packages in Ubuntu 7.10's repository. :(
So, I have to download the latest source package, compile and
install them with `--prefix=/usr'. This will overwrite the older
gstreamer files and though it's not graceful but it works.
