Oleg,

As far as I know, this fix can't be backported. I don't think it's
possible to properly support GstMiniObject because it wasn't designed
with introspection in mind (remember, the GStreamer 0.10 API is almost 7
years old now). I don't believe it's possible to fix this without
breaking the 0.10 API. And this is just one of many issues that make it
impossible to fully use GStreamer 0.10 from PyGI.

However, I imagine that GStreamer 1.0 will be made available through at
least precise-backports. As it's parallel installable with GStreamer
0.10, it's quite safe to backport as it wont effect any existing 0.10
using applications. I think a case could be made for even backporting
GStreamer 1.0 packages into Universe, but I don't know what the policy
is there.

Anyway, I agree it's a bummer that Python + Gtk3 + GStreamer isn't
usable in Precise. But g-i and PyGI are big transitions, and these
things just take time.

If you want to start porting your app, there are GStreamer 1.0 packages
in Quantal and there are packages for Precise in the GStreamer dev PPA
(also in the Novacut stable PPA now):

Cheers!
