The build system checks if gstreamer-app-1.0.pc is available. In
fedora, this is provided by gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel
package. I'm not familiar with Scratch but if you have compiled
and installed gstreamer yourself, it might be that you only need
to add the folder with gstreamer's .pc files to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
in order to be recognized by meson.

Just so you know, gstreamer is mainly used for audio decoding in
spice-gtk.
