Use gst_pad_iterate_internal_links() to navigate from the proxypad to
the actual ghostpad:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstPad.html#gst-pad-iterate-internal-links

There are the real links between pads when linking pads between two
elements and the "internal" links, which connect the srcpads and
sinkpads of a single element (or in this case ghostpad).

You should also use that elsewhere instead of going to the parent
element via gst_pad_get_parent_element().
