Reverting GStreamer updates in order to restore the visual appearance
and behaviour of the GNOME Volume Control application.

Questionable and partially wasted energy. Rolling back updates may
serve as a temporary work-around and may help in finding out *when*
something has changed, but it is far from "a fix". It is ugly, and
it's ridiculous to advertise such a work-around as something users of
Fedora 6 may need to apply. The package updates are supposed to work
fine. If they cause regression, file a bug report or search for the
cause of the symptoms (API changes? normal bugs?). More energy ought
to be spent on actually fixing the latest packages (which includes
F7).
