Firefox 30 and Gstreamer1 support



As Firefox 30 supports Gstreamer1 natively, and as gstreamer1 offers a
much better html5 rendering than gstreamer0.1 (namely the h264
codecs), is it not a better idea for Firefox to build on top of the
former?

If I wanted to venture in this journey myself, what should I do? I am
not an expert in hacking makefiles but I have seen a possible starting
point in mozilla-common.mk.

Could I change these lines:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-gstreamer
.include "../../multimedia/gstreamer0.10/buildlink3.mk"
.include "../../multimedia/gst-plugins0.10-base/buildlink3.mk"

to point to:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-gstreamer1
.include "../../multimedia/gstreamer1/buildlink3.mk"
.include "../../multimedia/gst-plugins1-base/buildlink3.mk"

or am I going in the wrong direction?
