When I get this correctly then this would be in fact gst_object_alloc(
oopClass, numberOfCOnlyBytes ); where numberOfCOnlyBytes is the number
of bytes I append to the struct which is not accessible to smalltalk. So
far so right? So I assume if I want to use this approach I have to
provide a cCall for #new which creates the object using the prior
mentioned gst_object_alloc bypassing the smalltalk creation call. Sounds
like quite the hack but it looks like it could work out.
