Are you aware that chromium uses ffmpeg directly, i.e no gstreamer? For mp3 and audio codecs this wouldn't be a problem, but if a user tries to play an HTML 5 video in the browser, video rendering will be choppy or non-existant on touch, because hardware acceleration is not being used, that is at least if ffmpeg doesn't have support for using libstagefright/hybris...
