[Bug 1253468] [NEW] gnash: youtube play with ffmpeg media handler broken on wheezy

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/729995:

Package: gnash
Version: 0.8.11~git20120629-1
Tags: wheezy patch
Severity: important

Gnash is built with two media handlers: ffmpeg and gstreamer.
Default is ffmpeg (libav) which is broken in wheezy due to deprecated api.

Biggest impact is youtube video play: circle keeps spinning, movie
doesn't start.

To reproduce:
$ gnash http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2

It can be workarounded by switching to gstreamer media handler:
$ echo "set mediahandler gst" >> ~/.gnashrc
    or
$ gnash -M gst http://www.youtube.com/v/9sJUDx7iEJw?version=2

Backporting following upstream change fixes that:
