Parent article: GStreamer 1.0 released
You cannot install the same GStreamer application for both 0.10 and 1.0.
Why would I want to do that? Or ever: why would I care about that? hIt's some magic pixie dust programmers are using to show me pretty pictures. I don't want to even think about it. If one program wants to use 0.10 - it can do that, if it wants to use 1.0 - it can do that, too. I don't care what they use actually. I just want to see which version I like better: old one or new one. And if I like 0.10-based Totem, but 1.0-based Pitivi then that's fine with me.
So in that sense GStreamer is just like the desktops.
Sadly this is not so. I can not decide when to upgrade. I may decide to keep GNOME2 pr GNOME3 - and that's it. I can not combine them. Not without third-party packages like MATE.
