           Summary: The udpsrc/udpsink/multiudpsink/dynudpsink elements may
                    leak file descriptors
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


If one has set the closefd property to TRUE (which it is by default) and
specified a socket via the sockfd property for either of udpsrc, udpsink,
multiudpsink or dynudpsink, the element will leak the file descriptor in case
it is never set to the PAUSED state even though the closefd property indicates
that the element is the owner of the file descriptor. It will also use a closed
file descriptor in case it is set to PAUSED again after having gone from PAUSED
to READY...

The attached patch should fix these problems. I do not think it warrants a
blocker for the pending -good release, so I intend to commit it once -good is
thawed (and I am back from vacation). But if anyone feels like committing it
before then, feel free. ;)
