I've got 0.5.7 built in a clean pbuilder sid chroot (and fixed a bunch
of minor issues raised by lintian during the process). Are there any
issues blocking upload (perhaps you'd like some time to review my
changes?), or can I go ahead and upload the package now?

Thanks, I've gone ahead and pushed my changes there. I've also added
pkg-gstreamer-devel and myself to uploaders, but feel free to remove
them if you don't approve.

Cheers,
