Description cristiano04 2016-05-19 22:12:56 UTC 
Fails to build against ffmpeg >=3.0.

More details here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575056
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-05-19 22:18:23 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report, but GStreamer 0.10 is very old and no longer maintained. You can build it statically against the internal libav/ffmpeg snapshot.

I'm using gstreamer 1.6.3, the report is about the plugin. Sorry, I'm a bit of a layman regarding the gstreamer plugins.
Comment 3 Olivier Crête 2016-05-19 22:34:22 UTC 
This bug report is about 0.10. You should build it against the internal version of ffmpeg, that is using "--without-system-ffmpeg". This is what we did when I used to maintain the ebuild. If the claim is that the bundled ffmpeg version has a bunch of CVEs, then the same applies to the rest of the GStreamer 0.10 code.. 

I notice that gentoo's libav package gives a choice of ffmpeg or libav.. That is also just wrong, only of those those will actually work, even though they're source compatible, they have different runtime behaviours!

> This bug report is about 0.10. 

That's because they're different ebuilds. This report is about https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg and gstreamer is https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-libs/gstreamer

I use gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10 and I use gstreamer-1.6.3.

Please sort it out in the gentoo bug tracker. If there is still an upstream issue, gentoo developers will file a bug with details here.
