Support of VP9 itself, if not already there, is a trivial one-line addition
to the hardcoded codec list. (GStreamer support for it should already be
there.)
Support for VP9 on YouTube is a different matter because Google arbitrarily
decided to require MSE for it. There is nothing we can do about that
decision. Complain to Google.
