[GTK] gst-plugins-good fails to build with newer Linux(v4l2)

One thing to consider: I think the media stream stuff requires v4l2, we need this properly fixed when we start running tests for that.

Ok! Do you know if the v4l2 plugin is already fixed in 1.0.5 or higher?

[Gustavo Noronha (kov)]

Thanks! It is not, but I understood from this discussion that that will be reverted in the kernel, so I'm not 100% it should be fixed in the v4l2 plugin right away - the discussion also seems to indicate these have never been implemented for real, so it should be a simple fix. I reported it here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697147

From the gnome bug; I guess bumping the gst-plugins-good version to 1.0.6 would work as well, would you prefer that, no strong opinion here?

I believe this has been fixed already, both in git master and in 1.0.6:

    v4l2: fix compilation against newer kernel headers as on FC19

[Philippe Normand]

I would prefer bumping but that'd require some time to check the media tests with the new version.

[Gustavo Noronha (kov)]

Makes sense, I'll land this for now, then.

We should re-enable this plugin. I indeed need it for mediastream :)
