You can also get working h.264 decoding by taking latest gst-ffmpeg CVS
which will be released as 0.10.2 in a few days. As upstream does very
extensive tests that their current ffmpeg snapshot works as expected
with the gstreamer plugin I think it's far safer to stay with their
version unless we want bugs that are not reproducible with upstream's
gstreamer plugin and ffmpeg combination.

Also using a different ffmpeg version than upstream could lead to our
bugreports being rejected or at least being seen as less valid than
other bugreports with default builds...
