It is typical on some lists (not this one - too little discipline:-) to post a summary article, often with the subject line of the preceeding discussion with the word "SUMMARY:" at the from or "[SOLVED]" at the back.
Reverting GStreamer updates in order to restore the visual appearance and behaviour of the GNOME Volume Control application.
There's no obligation here, just courtesy - it may help others; remember that those reading the summary may not have read the preceeding discussion; a short outline of the problem is useful as well.
Questionable and partially wasted energy. Rolling back updates may serve as a temporary work-around and may help in finding out *when* something has changed, but it is far from "a fix". It is ugly, and it's ridiculous to advertise such a work-around as something users of Fedora 6 may need to apply. The package updates are supposed to work fine. If they cause regression, file a bug report or search for the cause of the symptoms (API changes? normal bugs?). More energy ought to be spent on actually fixing the latest packages (which includes F7).
