I think it’s more important to make really, really sure that the only GStreamer things that are whitelisted are:
* MP4 demuxer
* H.264 decoder
* (LC-)AAC decoder
* MP3 decoder only in the context of .mp3 container
I’d leave Firefox agnostic to which specific implementations of these live on the other side of GStreamer.
