More stuff:

A google search on urisource-dvb turned up some references to Fedora 
Core RPMs of plugins-bad but none of them were 64-bit.  More searching 
uncovered a Debian bug log from 2008 containing exactly the same error 
message.  The bug must have affected Mandriva also at least up to 
2009.1.  Any chance that anybody could check out the gstreamer0.10 
plugins in 2010.1?  Maybe something like:

strings /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/lib*.so | grep "urisource-dvb"

Null result on my system.
