[SRU] gnash: youtube play with ffmpeg media handler broken on wheezy

Also proposed update bug report in debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729998

Patch has just been accepted by release team and uploaded to stable.

https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/stable_diffs/gnash_0.8.11~git20120629-1+deb7u1.debdiff

Any progress in backporting it?

Ehm no, last patch has been adapted to wheezy libav{codec,util,format} versions by removing ifdefs.
Correct one from upstream was already pointed in bug description.

Confirmed that this affects Precise, too. The workaround proposed here does work, however. (I'm nominating this for Precise because I confirmed it exists there)

Rebuilt on precise with patch in comment #2, it does fix it.

The attached debdiffs contain fixes for the specific releases of Ubuntu affected: Precise, Quantal, Raring, and Saucy.

Each of these has been build-tested in an `sbuild` chroot, and builds successfully.

All uploaded into unapproved queues, pending approval by sru team.

Brian, or anyone else on the SRU team:

I tested the version in precise-proposed, and the version there does indeed fix this issue.

I'm not certain how to change the tags, since this SRU is multi-release targeted, so I'm leaving the tags alone, until someone can give adequate guidance for this.

This bug was fixed in the package gnash - 0.8.10-5ubuntu1.1
