That's a good point, which I was ging to raise. python-gi is still quite
difficult to use because it doesn't document itself very well, although
improvements are on the horizon
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679804>. But I didn't get a
reply to my question here about how to read a list of GstStructures from
a field of a parent GstStructure in python-gi/gst-0.11, so maybe it isn't
possible yet, or if it is nobody knows how! :-/
