           Summary: gst_registry_get_default doesn't sink newly created
                    registry
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)

When gst_registry_get_default finds that there's no global default registry
yet, it creates a new one via g_object_new.  Since GstRegistry is a GstObject,
it inherits the floating reference semantics.  I use those semantics in the
Perl bindings to get memory management right without having to worry whether or
not I own the returned object.  In the case of gst_registry_get_default, this
breaks though, since gst_registry_get_default doesn't sink the created
registry.

I attach a patch (against HEAD) that changes gst_registry_get_default to ref
and sink the new registry.
