To run applications that use Qt Multimedia, you might also need to install the following GStreamer plugins: 'good', 'ugly', 'bad', ffmpeg (0.10), and libav (1.x). These additional plugins contain various codecs for audio and video decoding, as well as the necessary components for using the camera APIs. The package names for GStreamer vary between Linux distributions; try searching for gstreamer or libgstreamer in your distribution's package repository to find suitable packages.

This means the header files etc. which are installed into the staging directory (and not into the target directory) which
Qt needs to detect and compile with GStreamer support...

Should not happen ;-)

Last time I used this combination was with Buildroot 2015.11-rc3 and it worked for me with this (defconfig)
additional package selection:

+BR2_PACKAGE_GSTREAMER1=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BASE_PLUGIN_AUDIOTESTSRC=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BASE_PLUGIN_ALSA=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BASE_PLUGIN_OGG=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BASE_PLUGIN_VORBIS=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD_PLUGIN_AUDIOPARSERS=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD_PLUGIN_AUTODETECT=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD_PLUGIN_DEBUGUTILS=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD_PLUGIN_ID3DEMUX=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_GOOD_PLUGIN_FLAC=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_DEJAVU=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_LICENSE_APPROVED=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_EXAMPLES=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_WIDGETS=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_FONTCONFIG=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_GIF=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_JPEG=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_PNG=y
+BR2_PACKAGE_QT5MULTIMEDIA=y


...seems time to recheck it..., but needs some time...
