Trying to install Gstreamer 1.0 on 12.04 - is the PPA of the backports gone?

I am trying to install Gstreamer 1.0 on a new 12.04 installation. When I try to add the PPA I get this:

Cannot access PPA () to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.

Trying to install the package and I get this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gstreamer1.0*
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gstreamer1.0*'

I loaded Synaptic and can't seem to find any listings for Gstreamer1.0

How else can I access get the package installed?
