           Summary: gst_element_add_pad()'s pad parameter should be marked
                    as transfer none
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.0.6

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Right now gst_element_add_pad() has pad parameter that is marked as "transfer
floating".

This causes problems when using gstreamer-1.0 bindings with Vala as it leads to
unnecessary refs.

Vala developers suggested that it should be changed to "transfer none" because
gst_element_add_pad() internally refs the parameter. Please see Bug 702943 for
full discussion.

I am not competent enough to act as a judge in this case, so please maybe reply
also to the vala creators in Bug 702943.
