ext/ contains actual gstreamer plugin code for plugins that have
external dependencies (while gst/ has plugins that don't have extra
deps), not the external deps.
So there is no libvpx to fallback on.
This is only done with gst-libav, to my knowledge, for different main
reasons than fallback (API/ABI changes too often, needs testing and
validating together, etc).
