Error compiling QtGstreamer for Windows XP with VS2008

[Karl Phillip]

Before we close this thread permanently, I need one last help from you
guys.

After successfully building Qt-Gstreamer on Windows I noticed that
examples/player doesn't work right out of the box. Upon execution I get an
error saying "Failed to start in pull mode", "Could not open resource for
reading", "No URI set".

I found a thread on the mailing list from last month where a user had
reported this issue but he forgot to mention how to do the fix:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer-devel/2011-November/033919.html

So, how can I fix this issue?

Thank you all
