GStreamer's `GstStructure` is using `GQuark`s for the string name and field names. `GQuark` is an API for uniquely representing a string by an integer, and while this property has some theoretical performance advantages it also comes with various disadvantages that cause problems in practice. In this lightning talk I will explain these problems, and present a solution for this, which doesn't require API changes and doesn't have any relevant performance impact.
