GST_CAPS_ANY is initialized during gst_init() and never freed (so there's
always at least one reference). gst_caps_ref() is increasing the refcount of
that atomically and returning the new reference.

If you get any memory corruption, most likely some code is not handling
refcounting on the caps correctly. Do you have a testcase to reproduce the
memory corruption?
