Switching audio&video implementation in WebKit is a matter of switching MediaPlayerPrivate implementations, i.e. in your case you need to enable MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer and disable MediaPlayerPrivateQTKit in Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/MediaPlayer.cpp and build system[*].

The only thing that can make you troubles is that MediaPlayerPrivate implementations might have different fractions of API implemented and different level of HTML standard compliance.

[*] E.g, this way I've implemented HTML5 video&audio support for embedded platform with in-house playback API.
