gstreamer Python and cairooverlay

[RoyWiggins]

I was in touch with Jon Nordby (who wrote it in the first place) and he
thinks it's because I was using the older pyGTK bindings rather than
pygobject- pycairo doesn't use gobject, it uses its own wrapper, which
explains it.

So, I'm trying to get it to work in GStreamer 1.0, which Jon suggested-
however, it doesn't seem to *have* cairooverlay, even though I've installed
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good from the developers ppa (on Ubuntu 12.04), it
seems to be there in the
source<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/tree/ext/cairo?h=0.11>,
but gst-inspect-overlay0.10 doesn't list cairooverlay, or indeed
cairo-anything. I poked around the .deb and it does not appear to be there
but I'm not very familiar with the structure of .deb packages. I guess the
deb might be slightly out of juncture?

(Also, gstreamer was complaining about the jack audio server not being
installed- I installed the package from the Ubuntu main repo and started
jackd myself and it worked, but it ought to be a dependency resolved by the
gstreamer package, right?)
