Hi, Per request of the security team (see below), gst-ffmpeg and its associated codecs support will be dropped for etch; this means your programs wont support some formats anymore. I strongly suggest to move to GStreamer 0.10 in unstable right now, this might give a chance to your program to be reviewed by the release team and transition to Etch. For teatime, I'm going to ask for an unblock hint; for muine, I think it would be ok to upload the new upstream release.
