Yes, you can install different versions of GStreamer in differerent
locations. That's not a problem. You just need to make sure you set up
all the environment variables/paths properly so those versions are used
properly.

You can also use one or more "uninstalled" setups, see
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/UninstalledSetup

Not sure what you mean by this. Maybe you didn't set PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or PKG_CONFIG_PATH?
