According to some people knowing more about GStreamer than I do it's
pretty problematic to have 0.10 and 1.0 gstreamer mapped into one
process as there are clashes in the implementation and you could expect
crashes at runtime. On Linux distributions it's pretty easy to get
different GStreamer in one process. For example libcanberra loads
GStreamer itself usually and is also loaded into Firefox.
