ruby-gnome2 only contains bindings for gstreamer 0.8. To use gstreamer 0.10 you
need the libgstreamer0.10-ruby1.8 package. Which works perfectly with the rest
of ruby-gnome2 :)

Note that your application will need some porting to gstreamer 0.10.  At least 
the current source in debian doesn't seem to support gstreamer 0.10
