CRITICAL error message very confusing and appears incorrect

Hi Andres,

This is caused by a refcount bug "somewhere" - could be your code or
inside some GStreamer element. Something is unreffing something it
shouldn't, or forgot to ref something when it should.

If you can run this code through valgrind, it might show you the
previous code that unreffed that mini object. If you're lucky that's
the code where the bug is.

You're right that the message is confusing in this case, but we can't
tell who's fault it is, so the only thing we could do is remove the
extra text again, which is not helpful when it is actually the
application messing up the refcounting.

Cheers
