           Summary: MiniObject arguments for virtual methods shouldn't have
                    their refcount incremented

When a GstMiniObject is an argument for a virtual method implemented in python,
its refcount shouldn't be incremented when passing it along to the python
method.

The solution should be to:
1/ wrap it in a pygstminiobject (with pygstminiobject_new())
2/ unref it once (gst_mini_object_unref())

3/ call the python method

4/ ref the miniobject (gst_mini_object_ref())
5/ decrement the refcount on the pygstminiobject (Py_DECREF())
