Qt 5.5 is the first version that adds support for GStreamer 1.x. If you
use that version, it should be able to use gstreamer1.0-libav for h264
decoding. If that doesn't work, you're probably running into a bug
somewhere in Qt as it seems to work fine for all other GStreamer 1.x
apps that we currently have :)
