I'm rewriting cheese [1] in vala and I have video and a photo sink and
I need to switch between the two, but I don't want to rebuild them all
the time whenever I switch

So what I want is when a users switches from photo to video mode

   bin.remove (photo_sink);
   bin.add (video_sink);

Then when the user switches back

   bin.remove (video_sink);
   bin.add (photo_sink); // Crash because photo_sink got unreffed in
bin.remove (photo_sink)


So I think I need it, or do you see other ways to do it
