What's wrong (apart from being a bit ugly) with having a private copy of
libgstapp/appsrc/appsink (of course renamed to prevent conflicts) in
swfdec for this until there is a release?
Should make it possible for you to improve the GStreamer decoding as
soon as possible and simply drop the private copy and have everything
working once it's in a GStreamer release.

Also, AFAIK, Wim plans to work a bit on libgstapp/appsrc/appsink in the next
time so there is at least a chance that it will be included with the next
release or the one after...
