Comment 48 for bug 966294

Question for the release team:

I managed to track down that bug to a specific upstream commit, reverting the change seems to work on my test machine at least as far as the webcam part is concerned. So I'm confident uploading that change will fix the installer.

Now I'm no gstreamer expert and it's not unlikely that this revert will break something else in gstreamer. The bug has been forwarded upstream so hopefully we'll get a proper fix soon.

My question is, do we prefer to wait until upstream has a fix (can be days/weeks) before touching gstreamer or do we prefer to take the risk of regressing gstreamer to fix the installer?

My personal opinion is that it's much easier to fix whatever I break with that fix post-release through an SRU than to tell everyone affected to wait till the first point release to get a working media.
