+Summary: buffers leaked by filesrc, typefind, spider or fakesink
+
+Hi, 
+ 
+The following pipeline: 
+ 
+   filesrc ! typefind ! spider ! fakesink 
+ 
+seems to leak buffers. 
+ 
+Check out the attached program and watch memory usage in top while 
+running it over a folder that contains loads of mp3s and other files, 
+like this: 
+ 
+  ./scimport /mnt/media/mp3s 
+ 
+ 
+The leak seems to occur mainly, if not exclusively, with mp3 files that 
+have an ID3 tag, at least it doesn't seem to occur with ogg files or with 
+mpeg/audio files that have no ID3 tag. Possibly it is related to typefind 
+seeking to the end of the file when checking for an ID3v1 tag. 
+ 
+Cheers
