 That's interesting.  I'm sorry to comment so late on the issue, but
 could you confirm that just removing ~/.gstreamer-0.8 is enough to get
 things working again?

 I'm maintaining the GStreamer packages right now, and received other
 reports where removing the dir solved the issue.

 I think these are traces leftover from previous GStreamer versions, and
 while they might now behave correctly, there's no easy way to wipe them
 out automatically...  :-/

    Bye,
