ok, i did

    apt-get install gstreamer1.0*

but

    apt-file search gstreamer-plugins-base

yields no 1.x versions, so i cloned
    git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-rtsp-server 
which does seem to be 1.0.

and installed various flavors of
    http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-base/
to little avail

/usr/local/src/gst-rtsp-server# ./autogen.sh
...
configure: Requested 'gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0 >= 1.1.0.1' but version of GStreamer Base Plugins Libraries is 1.0.1
configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0 >= 1.1.0.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found
  configure failed

i would find 1.0.1 not being 1.0 >= 1.1.0.1 amusing if i did not have so
many hours into this.  similarly for 1.0.0

configure: Requested 'gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0 >= 1.1.0.1' but version of GStreamer Base Plugins Libraries is 1.0.0
configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0 >= 1.1.0.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found
  configure failed

and

  http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-base/

seems to not have the two exact matches autoget seems to want

the version test in ./configure is sufficiently baroque that it is
obvious that they really care seriously about minor and major numbers,
otherwise i woulld have hacked.
