GStreamer backend mochitest failures (with GStreamer only playing H.264, not 
Ogg or WebM)

Additionally, the mochitests fail with the GStreamer backend enabled.
Currently the GStreamer backend takes over playback of Ogg and WebM
resources when it's enabled, and Firefox times out trying to run
test_buffered because GStreamer can't handle playing Opus in Ogg.
test_a4_tone also fails.

If I change our code to use our existing Ogg/WebM backends for Ogg/WebM
when the GStreamer backend is enabled (so GStreamer only plays H.264,
not Ogg or WebM), the test run completes but with test failures and a
shutdown hang with the decode thread stuck in
nsGStreamerReader::WaitForDecodedData().

The unexpected test failures from the mochitest run's log are attached.

Looks like mostly problems with duration calculation.
