Your shared objects will required the shared GStreamer libraries to
work. Ideally you would statically compile x264 into the x264 GStreamer
plugin, and then link it to your libgstreamer_android.so. This has to be
done manually though.

Alternatively you could pull in all the needed .so files from the
runtime binary release, but that's a lot of code duplication and
increased binary size then.
