Get GstStructure from GValue?

[Eric Montellese]

Unbelievable.  As soon as I send to the listserv, I find the answer...
which is simply this:

gst_value_get_structure()


I was looking at this documentation (gobject)
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/gobject-Standard-Parameter-and-Value-Types.html

and not this one (gstreamer):
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstValue.html#gst-value-get-structure


D'oh!
