Adding this to the gst-plugins-bad entry in the top-level meson.build did the
job. I was able to ignore the few errors of compilation as they were not
connected to the problem or the code under test. Thanks for the pointer.

Fortunately not a problem :-)

git bisect done. Problematic commit discovered. Now the question is how to get
a fix in place for a GStreamer 1.18.2 release.

Anyone interested please fgeel free to take a look at:
