Can we define the problem better?
I assume the gstreamer license hasn't changed. So the licensing issues
holds the same whether we use 0.10 or 1.x.
On CentOS 5 we used to install it in the system as described here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#CentOS_5_for_AOO_4.1.x
(packages gstreamer-devel and gstreamer-plugins-base-devel)
CentOS 6 indeed still ships with 0.10
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
and it seems that EPEL (a semi-official extra repository with additional
packages) does not ship it either.
The reason for using CentOS 6 is "we use a Linux system that is old
enough for any user system to be the same or more recent"; this is to
prevent glibc conflicts.
So the real question is: does gstreamer 1.0 (or its dependencies)
require a glibc version that is higher than 2.12 (as found in CentOS 6),
or other dependencies that have the same problem? Otherwise we can
probably look into building it.
