Replace? Why do you want to replace? 1.0 is designed to be able to 
coexist with 1.0 in the same rootfs (you cannot use both at the same 
time in a process; however, this isn't a concern for OE, but for 
application developers). In essence, simply adding the new files from 
the patch to recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/ should be sufficient. The old 
0.10 ones can be left unchanged.
