Does gstreamer supports utf-8/unicode?

[Χρήστος Τριανταφύλλης]

i have convert to utf-8 all the strings i pass to uri and when i use only
string with english characters the program works!
when i use with greek characters (i am from greece) the program gives me
the above error!
but all the strings are at utf-8...i am not sure if the problem is in
python or gstreamer...
so i asked here for your help! :)
