           Summary: playbin leaks sinks and threads when using
                    gconfaudiosink

The gstreamer 0.10 backend for rhythmbox uses playbin with gconfaudiosink as the
audio sink for playback.  To change songs, it pauses the playbin, changes the
uri property, and starts it playing again.

gconfaudiosink creates a new audio sink when it goes through this state
transition, but for some reason the old audio sink doesn't get cleaned up, so
the thread associated with the clock stays around.  I can't really tell why this
is happening, but I'm guessing there's an extra reference on the sink somewhere.
When I tried playing a file that I don't have a decoder for, the audio sink was
cleaned up correctly.
