It is possible (and useful) to compile both GST and FFmpeg into gnash.
It's actually the default, if deps for both are found.

You can specify which handler to use at runtime with the gnashrc
directive 'set mediaHandler xx' and with the -M commandline option.

If your test runner is written in C++ you should have access to 
the list of available handlers, so you can scan it. It should be
a GnashFactory.
