Python test program

With ximagesrc as my source and I capturing 1920x1080 video which is then
encoded with vp8 and muxed into a webm container. The attached program develops
a big memory leak that sometimes peaks over 5MB/s.

I was unable to localize this, however the same pipeline executed with
gst-launch-1.0 works OK and there are no memory leaks, at least not this big.

It appears that something is wrong with GObject introspection because this leak
appears only when doing this in python and not in the command line.

I was running this on Ubuntu 12.10.
