QID 671043: EulerOS Security Update for gstreamer1-plugins-base (EulerOS-SA-2021-2686)

Applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related.
Its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plug-ins.
This package contains a set of well-maintained base plug-ins.
