How do I check gstreamer version?
I want to know what version of gstreamer I have installed.
If it turns out that I have multiple versions I want to know which is being used.
Edit:
It turns out that things are a bit messy. There are multiple versions of gstreamer (mainly 0.1 and 1.0) and they're being used in parallel (they should be treated as separate) (Source). As for the packages there's plenty of them. Here are the packages that came out from the dpkg -l | grep gstreamer command:
