We discussed this on irc.

Unfortunately gst-0.8.x and gst-0.10.x are incompatible[1].

At the GNOME 2.14 ARC review it was decided that we don't need
to support parallel installs of multiple versions of gst,
and we got a TCR[2] to remove the version numbers from the
binaries.  This broke the build of multimedia apps so
I put the versions back and moved the versioned binaries
to /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/tools and created versionless
symlinks in /usr/bin.

Also unfortunately, there are many apps that have not yet been
ported to 0.10 and still need 0.8.  Major Linux distros get
around this by shipping 2 versions of gst in parallel.

I looking at Justin's spec file and almost done fixing it.

[1] Why isn't it called 1.0.x?  I don't know.
