When your email arrived I had just come to the same conclusion and was in process of installing 0.10. However, my findings are not encouraging. According to the Gstreamer site, 0.10 and 1.0 should co-exist. In my experiments they didn't - perhaps the order of installation might be important. I then removed 1.0 and it took with it many of the utilities of Xubuntu 16.04; even having carried out a fresh installation of 0.10 there were still problems handling .avi and .mpg files (I only experimented with a known good .avi and .mpg file). I've spent long enough fiddling at this - for the few presentations I have using multimedia (always video in my case), I'll manage with the hyperlink to the system video player or VLC. As 0.10 is not maintained since 2012, and modern *ubuntu distros are using 1.0, (I have no knowledge of the situation in other linux distros) perhaps it is time to consider migration to 1.0 for a future release of AOO. For information: on the gstreamer site is a note on migrating 0,1 to 1.0.
