Yes, it's very promising, hope to try it on the weekend.

Sorry, I didn't mean it's unofficial. The question was about including to 
'traditional' packages as they seem to have more attention from repository 
maintainers, better documentation and look more matured. Also, gst-omx is 
somehow surprisingly absent on this page: 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/
and on the ftp while gst-openmax is there.

Yes, I think so, but I need to test it some more to know what the exact reason 
is. I think it's quite known issue, have read of it. The problem is that as 
soon as I add videoparsers plugin to any location GStreamer can find it, 
playbin and manual pipelines stall in PREROLL forever.
