Thanks for trying to fix this!

It still doesn’t work, though (same error as before – stalling when
launching). The reason is probably that Miro only support gstreamer
0.10, so compiling it against 1.0 won’t work. Support for the 
gstreamer 1.0 API requires a somewhat major rewrite:
  http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19716

I have tried compiling libwebkit and libwebkit3 against 
gstreamer 0.10. The result is available in this repository:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ahuftis%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A12.3%3AUpdate

With this, your Miro package almost works, i.e., the launch process
reaches a later stage, and successfully manages to update the Miro
database, but ultimately it crashes with a segfault before the
GUI is started.

But compiling Miro from source, everything seems to work
fine (with the modified libwebkit libraries).

BTW, regarding the libxine requirements: I believe Miro doesn’t 
use xine anymore, so you can remove the package requirements.
