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.
