           Summary: Endlessly increasing VM size with playbin using apps
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


With programs using playbin (e.g. Totem or Rhythmbox), their VM size increases
with every track change - eventually exhausing their address space. This can be
seen by starting Rhythmbox playing and then quickly switching tracks, or
passing Totem a lot of files on the command line and witching between them.

The resident memory does not increase, so I would assume this to be caused by
the files getting mmap'd in, but not unmapped when the URI is changed. I'm not
sure whether this is caused by the applications doing something wrong, playbin,
decodebin or gnomevfssrc.
