I would suggest waiting for Jolla releasing GStreamer 1.4 for SailfishOS. First steps were already done in update 10. I hope update 11 or 12 will bring a full replacement for 0.10 including support for the camera.
Thank you for reply. GStreamer 1.0 is already in the repositories, but unfortunately, it seems that the main road blocker is GStreamer 1.x support in Qt itself. SailfishOS finally has Qt 5.2, but even with Qt 5.5 in sight, the GStreamer 1.x support still hasn't been implemented (AFAIK) in QtMultimedia, even though it is planned. It still relies on GStreamer 0.10.

I wouldn't have high hopes for it, so it looks like a better solution to go either the VLC route, or try QtAV.

It had the support and even an official release for SaifishOS in its 1.3.3 version, but now it needs at least libAV 0.9 (Sailfish has 0.8).
