I don't think you need to run a main loop to get notifies from
g_object_set(). Are you sure?

I think the docs are probably wrong in this case (mea culpa); or rather
they were written assuming the queue object uses g_object_notify() as it
should, without double-checking whether it actually does.  Please file a
bug at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bugs/ so we don't forget about
it - thanks!

In any case, caring about the exact value is usually not a good idea
anyway - it's probably better to just set the appropriate max/min values
and g_signal_connect() to the overrun/underrun etc. signals instead.
