The gst_buffer_join() documentation says that it unrefs the input parameters
and mentions using their data without copying it. This suggests that the input
parameters are made invalid, meaning I shouldn't use them again, regardless of
their refcount. Is this true?

Unrefing of input parameters is generally weird and awkward for language
bindings, by the way.
