Why would you want to get a GstBuffer pointer when what you really
want is to get the data of the buffer? bufferptr->data() should do
that in QtGStreamer. But if you really really want a GstBuffer*, then
you can just get it implicitly from a smart pointer:

QGst::BufferPtr bufferptr;
GstBuffer *b = bufferptr;
gst_buffer_ref(b);
....
