Well, that's not really true. The bindings are fairly incomplete, there
are a lot of bugs & memory issues. The keyword here is: "unmaintained".
The gstreamer folks are looking for a new maintainer right now. 

If you need to do some simple things with audio - It'll work. But more
advanced handling of video will only bring you a serious headache.

For DIVA I'm using gstreamer's xvimagesink plugin. You merely pass it a
handle to the Gdk.Drawable (ie. of a Gtk.DrawingArea) and it displays a
XOverlay over the drawable. You need some quirks on the unmanaged side
to handle all window size changes/expositions etc. but it can be done.
