Refcounting comes with its own set of problems and increases complexity (for
users as well as bindings: consider the thread-safety traits in Rust and their
interaction with refcounting for example), and GstAudioConverter should not
really be shared in different places. You use it from one place, otherwise
you'll run into interesting problems due to it having a sample history, etc.
