[SRU] gstreamer 1.8.1

[Iain Lane]

[ Description ]

We should keep up with GStreamer's bugfix releases in the 1.8 series that 16.04 shipped with.

[ QA and testing ]

Play a range of videos in Totem. Play a range of audio tracks in Rhythmbox. Try to stream audio and/or video. Try to install a missing codec.

In all cases, make sure that everything which worked before still works.

[ Regression potential ]

One of the fixes could be bad. Watch out for it.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The diff for gstreamer1.0 looks odd: In RELEASE, the fixes and documentation for 1.8.0 gets removed, and replaced with 1.8.1. This also removed the references for four bug fixes in 1.8.0. Can you please verify that the code changes are really correct?

Also, can you please expand the test case for some concrete tests for various media/programs?

[Iain Lane (laney)]

diff> What do you mean? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/commit/NEWS?h=1.8&id=ab3362f13d4b01de063a1ece9d29eb5648f4f396 ?

tests> I updated it now to say exactly what was said for a previous SRU. If you want more, let me know and I'll update it in a couple of days.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Thanks Laney, so it seems the removed 1.8.0 NEWS entries are harmless and don't go along with dropping code.

gstreamer-vaapi needs to be updated too or else the updated packages refuse to install without removing it first.

I've that version installed on my main system, playing different type of videos in totem works fine, rhythmbox deals with music and CDs as it should, cheese is displaying live videos of the webcam, missing codec triggers the plugins install as they should, sound settings are working as they shoulds ... looks good, marking as verified!
