Yes, this was a known problem with the 0.10 (and 0.8) Python bindings
for GStreamer and couldn't be changed properly because it would break
backwards compatibility with existing code.

The solution for this would be to move to the 1.x versions of GStreamer
and use the new bindings available for that. You should do that anyway,
as 0.10 is no longer supported by the GStreamer project since a long
time.
