I think only a simple solution is needed. From my experience adding the new buffer protocol to pygame.mixer.Sound it would be easy enough for bf_releasebuffer to use the "internal" field to free memory allocated by bf_getbuffer. As long as this pointer is preserved it would not matter if Py_buffer is copied or the "shape" and "strides" pointers change. Just ensure Py_buffer is clearly documented.
