The callbacks live in a thread, yeah - but they basically just fetch the
iradio metadata and post it on the pipeline bus. The higher layers will
be notified of the bus message in the main thread and handle them there.
So this really shouldn't happen, but apparently it doesn't care about
that :)

I could try to either call the callbacks or do the bus-posting via
gobject.idle_add(). But I don't have this problem myself, fwiw. The only
crashes I see are the Python garbage collector trying to collect an
object multiple times - most likely a gst-python issue.
