<pbor> Uraeus: does gst have a lot of API with GErrors passed as signal
arguments?
<pbor> it's a pattern that is usually avoided in gtk etc
 if it's not common maybe now that you are breaking the api it is a good time
to avoid it
 pbor, we got it in discoverer (which is where I get this crash
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668862
<tomeu> opportunity to make the API more consistent :)
<pbor> Uraeus: the pattern used in other places is that you get a signal that
the an operation is complete and then you call finish(&err) to know if it
failed and to retrieve the error
