I noticed you merged master into the branch. My opinion is that merging
instead of rebasing messes up the history and makes it rather unclear
what the differences in this branch are. So I would suggest the following:
Delete the branch, create a branch "wip-gstreamer" from security-updates
(not master!), try to build a few packages; after security-updates has been
applied to master, rebase wip-gstreamer and have it built by hydra.

Right now, the priority clearly is to finish security-updates, and we
cannot afford to build a second branch in parallel.

Are these four updates independent? Should they all be built together,
or should we do them one by one? Only 19 packages depend on ao, only 29 on
libvpx, so these could be done separately. Could they even go to master,
or do they depend on gstreamer (or pulseaudio) being updated first? 
pulseaudio has 162 dependent packages, so even these could maybe be built
separately (where by "separately" I mean in a different evaluation).

What do you think?
