Title:
  Lack of GstMiniObject means Gst.Message is broken, can't get EOS
  signal

Bug description:
  It's almost possible to use GStreamer from PyGI.  The hang up is that
  currently you can't get EOS signals from a pipeline, and that the
  message bus is overall broken.

  As far as I know, this is because pygobject doesn't grok the
  GstMiniObject type, which mean Gst.Message is an unknown type.  There
  is an upstream bug with a patch (work in progress):

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631901

  I'm not sure if this would be too invasive a change to deliver to
  Oneiric users through a SRU, but this would help smooth the transition
  to PyGI (and possibly only shipping Python3 on the CD) for Precise as
  app devs could be working with PyGI and GStreamer right now on
  Oneiric.

  For what it's worth, this would really help Novacut.  Either way, lets
  make sure PyGI + GStreamer rocks in Precise!

  (Side note: this also raises a question... GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0 in
  Precise?)
