Hi,
as discussed on IRC gst_element_link (and probably other functions) implicitely
request pads which is highly likely to lead to memory leaks as the application
does not know in the worst case that pads were requested.

Those functions should either don't request pads or do whatever magic is
required to release the pads when they're not needed anymore.

Bye
