gst-openmax was one of the earlier implementations of a gstreamer omx
IL wrapper. It is for 0.10 only, and abandoned.

gst-omx provides the same functionality, but is a from-scratch rewrite.
It was originally developed for 0.10 and has been ported to 1.x.

gst-omx is current and maintained (for 1.x).
