 There are no 1.0 version in lucid, it's hard to simply change used
 version. Mozilla closed as wontfix such
 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947287 wishes] too, as many
 distributives in-use still has no anything besides 0.10

 And many distributives nuked support for mp4 plugins by gstreamer-0.10.
 There are no good resolve for this ticket, half of Linux's user base have
 been affected by any decision for today.
