When you say 'a structure' you mean a C structure, not a GstStructure,
right?

You should be able to do this by registering a so-called "boxed type"
for your structure (with a copy/free function), and then registering the
tag with that boxed type.

You'll also want to register a serialize/deserialize/compare function
for your type with gst_value_register().
