We have a monorepo now, so this is likely lost.

Then play the card of API break with pygobject folks, we made no recent
changes on our side in this regard. I noticed that ValueArray constructor
in glib now ignore the args, if it didn't do that before, it's an API
break. ValueArray is such a mess, but we are stuck with it in some part of
GStreamer.

An alternative is to add overrides to explicitly support the numpy arrays
in gst-python, patches welcome (against GStreamer/ repo these days).
