[packman] Arista not working in opensuse, plugin missing

[Swapnil Bhartiya]

I am trying to install and use Arista Transcoder in openSUSE, but some 
update recently broke it. I have filed bug report with Arista and 
openSUSE and it seems the problem is with pacman not installing 
plugins/codecs.

How to reproduce
1. Install Arista in openSUSE 12.1
2. Try to run and it throws error

muktware at linux-fdhk:~> arista-gtk
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
arista.presets [433]: INFO Attempting to install elements: x264enc
** Message: PackageKit: xid = 0
** Message: PackageKit: Codec nice name: GStreamer element x264enc
** Message: PackageKit: structure: gstreamer0.10(element-x264enc)()(64bit)
** Message: PackageKit: Did not install codec: Message did not receive a

The error it throws is
Cannot add conversion to queue because of missing elements!

I then tried to install plugins from openSUSE's repo
http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/12.1

and then

Now when I try to transcode a movie in Droidx (format for Android 
tablets) it throws error:

Conversion of The_Iron_Lady.mp4 to Generic Android Droid X failed! 
Reason: Unable to construct pipeline! no property "profile" in element 
"faac0"

Can you please help?
