Well, with gst-properties fixed, the default gnome-media install builds
fine with deprecated symbols disabled here.

Regarding the non-default / deprecated widgets I'll take it like Thomas
Andersen in comment 9 in above bug: it makes no sense fixing them.

      * gst-mixer doesn't need any fixing and works with deprecated
        symbols disabled already. (Note, this seems to be used at least
        in Gentoo when building your system without PA)
      * vu-meter would be doable but was written for ESD. Alternatives
        already exist for PulseAudio, eg. with Lennart's own
        pavumeter[1].
      * gnome-cd could be doable as well but AFAIR was replaced already
        (not sure by whom right now, Sound-Juicer?, Rhythmbox?, Totem?)
      * cddb-slave2 is from what I can see only left as a dependency of
        gnome-cd. I guess most cd-player apps today use Musicbrainz
        anyway, so there's probably not much use in fixing it.

Felix
