Interesting, for this one patch was committed on Thursday:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/commit/?h=0.11&id=42a6e487c854d9cdcd8e99f0a15cecd53748bd3d

See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/gst/gstparse.c?h=0.11#n273.

However, maybe that wasn't enough, because there are bunch of
introspected parse_launch sub-variants, which all require
investigation don't they need '(transfer floating)'. Fixing
gst_parse_launch with (transfer floating) worked for me.

I'm hoping to update my notes from hackfest tomorrow and post URL
here. Then I hope to kick start some sort of Gst Porting guide for
Python.

Cheers,
Peter.
