GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 125978
gst-plugins HEAD does not build aginst gstreamer HEAD

It is unclear if this is a bug or just that everybody needs to build both gstreamer-0.7 and 0.6 (although it seems that even that will not fix things since the 0.7 installation will be detected first). Currently there are a few modules in gst-plugins that call gst_element_factory_new(), however that function has been removed in 0.7. Some of the modules calling this function are built unconditionally (e.g. gstasfdemux), so this problem affects everybody. Current GNOME 2.5 builds, which require gstreamer HEAD are failing because of this.
Yes, someone added the new API without changing the plugins accordingly, so plugins build was broken. Sorry for the mess-up, it's fixed now. HEAD should build again.
