46 There is no need to remove the 1.x version of gstreamer (unless you
47 just don't need it anymore). The 0.8, 0.10, and 1.x branches of
48 gstreamer are each slotted (well, the ancient 0.8 release is gone from
49 the tree as nothing uses it any more) specifically so that they can be
50 installed in parallel, and upstream actually supports doing so (which
51 is why the ABI version number is in the name of every library, plugin
52 directory, and executable).
