Maybe we still need a subclass of the buffers in the array so that we can, for
example, implement a working copy function. If that's the case we could expose
the group methods on this new type. 

It all seems a bit too much for what we can reasonably implement right now. If
you want to transfer some GstBufferArrayData element to another buffer, there
is not really a way to increment the refcount of whatever object actually owns
that data pointer unless you also add a _ref method to the Data structure.

I would think that for 0.10 we want to create the buffer array with its special
buffers inside but that's it. Modifications to these arrays seems too much to
handle without doing some serious GstBuffer redesigns.
