I thought the "external download dependency" you were talking about, meant
distribution of GStreamer with an AOO release, which is not allowed.

Building against GStreamer header files, and then only linking to the
GStreamer libraries on the end user's system, if present, sounds allowed
("Can Apache projects rely on components under prohibited licenses" on
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html)
