[sldev] gstreamer

[Glen Canaday]

Won't even build for me. constantly complains about libraries and such that 
are actually there.

The good news is that on my 64-bit ubuntu, everything *except* streaming 
works. I'm crashing, so stability isn't there, but the fact that things are 
mostly working is a huge step in the right direction.

Sean - if you get a chance to try that, let me know how it works out. I can't 
make heads or tails of all the different things that go wrong with it. Last 
time I tried it it didn't like llmozlib. The installed mozlib conflicted with 
the ll one and prevented the build from going past that stage. the ubuntu lib 
ain't compatible with the ll changes I don't think. Also, forcing the LL 
version onto the system killed thunderbird and firefox. 1.22 is working, with 
voice, from the main linux DL.

If either of you succeed, post your bash history from start to finish and I 
will copy/paste I swear it ;P
