How to get image path in twig using SonataMediaBundle?

Question

I'm using SonataMediaBundle to keep track of my images. I can render the image in twig using Sonata's helper:

{% media user.profilepic, 'reference' %}

This will render into an <img src="the src">

But, what I want to obtain is the naked path, so I can for instance, add a class to my img. Something like:

<img class="img-responsive" src="{{ asset(user.profilepic) }}">

Obviously, asset(user.profilepic) does not return the path, but the object, and that object doesn't seem to contain the image's path.

EDIT

Found part of my answer, as well:

{% set foo %}
     {% path image, 'small' %}
{% endset %}
<img src="{{ asset(foo) }}" alt=""/>

Apparently the output of a block can be set to a variable, then pass that to the asset function.

There's a documentation for helpers

There are several options. Media helper supports specifying the class

{% media media, 'small' with {'class': 'myclass'} %}

Also you can render just a path with "path" helper:

{% path media, 'small' %}

But how do I put that path inside an img's src? Or how do I pass it to the asset() function? – George Irimiciuc Oct 16 '15 at 14:13
@GeorgeIrimiciuc did you try the first option? It will render into img with specified class. If this option doesn't fit to your expections, you can try – Ivan Fateev Oct 16 '15 at 14:18
Wow, it was that simple? Can't believe it. Please add it to the answer, too. – George Irimiciuc Oct 16 '15 at 14:21
One more question, is it possible to do something like asset({% path media, 'small' %}) ? Because I'm getting a relative path and I need to pass it to the asset function. – George Irimiciuc Oct 16 '15 at 14:34
