[meta-freescale] GstVolume with dizzy is not working when changing to a value inferior to 1

[scerveau]

Dear all,

I had a try on rpi2 and i'm facing the same issue.
The sound is not working when we change the volume value to less than 1.0
Looks like a compiler issue in gcc-4.9 on arm7 ?
My fix for now is disabling gstreamer1.0-plugins-base optimization byt 
putting CFLAGS to -O0

Best regards.
