Public bug reported: While calling Arun, a gstreamer/pulseaudio hacker, the call fails with an error message. /usr/lib/empathy/empathy-call shows the errors below. According to Arun, this is due to empathy linking against gstreamer 0.10, but also against some other library, which in turn links against gstreamer 1.0.
