When you add an element to a bin, the bin becomes the owner of said element, so you must not unref the element yourself. If you want to keep a reference for yourself you have to sink the element before adding it to a bin.</blockquote><div> I do unref only to pipeline, not all elements. The elements I am adding to bin contains  'my-filter' (my own plugin). The plugin works alright and does the finalization part too. In gst-application Im just creating a pipeline, adding elements to it and then once the main loop is over I proceed further for setting state to NULL But the application does not come out of "gst_unref_object(pipeline)" -Vinayak </div> </div>
