FFe: Please Upgrade Gstreamer Bad and Multiverse Plug-ins To 0.10.14

Considering the long list of both feature enhancements and bug fixes this should be seriously considered.

At present, though some progress has been made with dvd navigation,and playback, totem is still inferior to the removed totem-xine and seriously lags behind players such as vlc and mplayer.

At this point it cannot be recommended as the main video player in karmic.

The gstreamer0.10-schroedinger package was recently dropped from schroedinger source with the rationale that gst-plugins-bad0.10 now provides it, but this is not true of the version we currently have in karmic; we need the new upstream version from Debian unstable for this. I'm therefore requesting a freeze exception for gst-plugins-bad0.10.

Changelog diff attached.

Package builds successfully; installs ok with the addition of these new library dependencies:

  libdirac0c2a libkate1 libmimic0

and totem still runs ok with this package installed, though I haven't directly tested any of the plugins provided by this package.

ACK #1

Ack #2. Approved.

This bug was fixed in the package gst-plugins-bad0.10 - 0.10.14-4ubuntu1

---------------
gst-plugins-bad0.10 (0.10.14-4ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian (LP: #436350), remaining changes:
    - Removed plugins that are now provided -good

gst-plugins-bad0.10 (0.10.14-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/build-deps.in,
    debian/gstreamer-plugins-bad.install:
    + Disable the LV2 plugin until it works reliable and doesn't crash

      Unfortunately I can't reproduce that crash...

  * debian/build-deps.in,
    debian/gstreamer-plugins-bad.install:
