 The easiest way too create such a setup is the

 This setup makes use of the
 <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/gst-uninstalled">latest version of gst-uninstalled</ulink>.
 Running this script, you'll be in an environment where the uninstalled
 tools and plugins will be used by default.  Also, pkg-config will detect the
 uninstalled copies before (and prefer them to) any installed copies.
