           Summary: Possible memory leak when ripping CD's in Banshee and

Please describe the problem:
It seems like gstreamer could be responsible for a memory leak when ripping
CD's with.






Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Banshee or Rhytmbox
2. Insert a CD and choose Copy CD to library or Import CD
3. Monitor the memory usage


Actual results:
Tried with:

Banshee 1.5.0 
Rhythmbox 0.12.0

Both programs grabs a number of megabytes of memory during ripping and
writeable memory does not drop back to the original value (ie. when the music
player is running normally) after the ripping is finished. 

I tried to measure the actual rise in memory, but I did not find any consistent
numbers, but the pattern is that:

On first rip memory usage goes up between 30 to 50 mb. On consequetive rips,
Banshee memory use increases between 15-35 per rip. Rhythmbox stays stable
after the initial rise in usage. But none of the programs seems to release the
first 30-50 mb.


Expected results:
Yes

Does this happen every time?
