Thanks for the insight here. My rationale for downgrading was that there are a handful other tests that fail on armhf; but I just realized that we haven't had "gst-plugins-base" working on armhf for a long time. 1.12.5 is also "newer" than 1.14.0. Since there are problems on aarch64 too I went ahead and started the branch with 1.12.5. Let's revisit this issue on 'core-updates'.
