Please explain what is the benefit of having these patches in oe-core
right now, instead of just getting the fixes automatically from future
upstream releases. Why are you submitting these patches in particular, are
they something that a lot of people will benefit from?

These patches add significantly to the maintenance burden of oe-core
recipes, and if they're difficult to forward port, they will simply be
dropped from the recipes when new versions of gstreamer are out.

Generally, we prefer to take patches that:
a) fix build issues, particularly those exposed by cross-compilation or
less common architectures.
b) fix issues that are embedded-specific.
