  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: HEAD CVS
           Summary: [capsfilter] Copy of passed GstCaps taken instead of
                    reference
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: tim at ngus.net
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.17/2.18
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
<Timbo> if you're fiddling with documentation you might also change
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer-plugins/html/gstreamer-plugi
ns-capsfilter.html to say that settings the caps property takes a copy of your
GstCaps, not a reference :)
<thaytan> Timbo: it'd be better to fix capsfilter to take a reference, not a
copy ;)



Steps to reproduce:
1. Employ a capsfilter element
2. Set "caps" property
3. Notice no reference taken on GstCaps object passed


Actual results:
No reference is taken on the GstCaps object passed to the capsfilter element

Expected results:
A reference to be taken on the GstCaps object passed to the capsfilter element

Does this happen every time?
Yes
