Getting SIGSEGV with the sinkelement.py example

Problem: Getting a SIGSEGV when running the demo python element
sinkelement .py from

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-python/-/blob/master/examples/plugins/python/sinkelement.py

Trying to dispose element sinkelement+mysink0, but it is in PLAYING
instead of the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.
This problem may also be caused by a refcounting bug in the
application or some element.
