While I'm not convinced that is a good idea, you could achieve this today by
just keeping a ref to the buffers you allocated using pad_alloc() in your pool
and then reusing them when GST_MINI_OBJECT_REFCOUNT_VALUE() returns 1.
That'd basically be the same thing as your approach, just without requiring new
API.
