That's because you still have your custom GStreamer in /usr/local, and
stuff in /usr/local is preferred over stuff in /usr. Really, you should
remove GStreamer from /usr/local.

Also there's not really a reason to install GStreamer by hand into /usr.
You can get up to date packages for Ubuntu from the PPA and if you want
to develop for the latest GIT of GStreamer you can run it all
uninstalled without breaking your system.
