Hi I've begun having a look.
We currently test for gstreamer in configure.ac but don't use the result, re-running pkg-config in a main/avmedia's makefile. Changing the version number to 1.0 breaks the build due a missing header file. Removing that "#include" gets it a little further, but it breaks due to changed gstreamer API functions. There is also lots of warnings about deprecated GDK functions. I'll continue trying later. We should really get rid of gstreamer 0.1 ASAP one way or the other: given how it's been unmaintained since 2013, it may well have security vulnerabilities. We can't ship it to users since its license is incompatible, but having users install it separately still invites trouble.
