I've filed this in bugzilla (#341182). As a proof of concept i've attached a
patch there that puts the stream-info objects in a GValueArray (was the easiest
thing to do). Which works nicely when using it in the ruby bindings

What do you mean exactly with your GstStructure suggestion ? One GstStructure
for each stream-info object, that encodes the same information as the
corresponding stream-info object ?
