It's obsolete since H264 is already covered by ffmpeg.
I still remember playing with MPlayer and the VDPAU extension
on Solaris boxes ten years ago. Naturally, MPlayer was compiled
with H264 support that was provided by libx264. The problem is
that this is an "illegal" thing and that why it is not in the
normal gstreamer but it is included in the bad and ugly extensions...
The openH264 is supposed to solve this problem.
It's not illegal for personal use, and, still, the Cisco license
doesn't solve it for commercial use. So nothing is gained using
openH264.
