 on the data or are requested never disappear until the element is disposed.
 
 There needs to be a policy on how these are handled and they need to

+Pads can be removed from elements by gst_element_remove_pad(), which
+fires a pad-removed signal.  So I think we have the mechanism, but it
+has most likely never been tested, since no element uses it.  Perhaps
+you're just saying that elements should remove their automatic pads
+when going to NULL (READY?), or upon receiving new media.
