Sure, merge does look weird.  Done as you said, thanks for the guide :)

OK.

Yes, they're independent.  I update gstreamer and add gst-plugins-bad,
the other are from Efraim Flashner's work.  Due to gst-plugins-good
failed to pass some tests with the update of libvpx and pulseaudio,
I think put them together may bring some luck.
well, it seem the test failure of gst-plugins-good is unreleated to
the update...
