  There isn't anything in the GStreamer API that would help you to
*track* this down.
  On Linux and MacOSX most of us use valgrind, here's how we use it :
  http://live.gnome.org/Valgrind

  If you have access to a Linux or MacOSX machine, you can try
reproducing your use-cases there and use valgrind to find the leaks.
  If you don't have access to such machines, or you have
windows-specific plugins, then you'll have to look for a memory profiler
for windows (don't know of any).
