Please post the output of revdep-rebuild -p -i

Do these various packages require specifically gstreamer-0.8? If so, 
that is a bug and should be rpeorted at b.g.o. In general, unmerging 
gstreamer-0.8 will cause other things linked to it to now not work, so 
I reckon you will suffer some fallout if you just unmerge it.

A good safety net will be to look into the portage cache in /var/db/pkg, 
you will find a copy of the current gstreamer-0.8 ebuild you are using 
there. Copy it to your local overlay so you can remerge it if 
necessary. Do the same with any plugins that are also not in portage 
anymore
