swfdec always reports no suitable decoders for both audio and video, even when all GStreamer plugins are installed. This is clearly not right.

Additional info:
* swfdec 0.8.2, swfdec-mozilla 0.8.2

Steps to reproduce:

Install swfdec and try to watch a Youtube video. The result will be a black square with a toolbar, and swfdec will complain about lack of available codecs on the command line.
This task depends upon

I can confirm.
After one of the system updates (last week?) I no longer play video from Youtube. The image is not. Sound, yes.
Perhaps it would help only recompiled again. Swfdec-devel works for compiled. I have not noticed problems.
I have installed gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-base (opts package).
