appsrc/appsinkk used to be in gst-plugins-bad while the API was still in
flux, but has been moved to gst-plugins-base now that the API is stable.

You will only find it in gst-plugins-base >= 0.10.22.

That would be libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev, but you'll need the
package from sid.

Not any more :)

That might work too.
