  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: git
           Summary: Removing the target of a ghostpad does not re-target the
                    ghostpad to NULL
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: msmith at xiph.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Unit test attached, it:
 - creates a bin with a sink inside it.
 - creates a ghostpad on that bin targetted at the sink inside it.
 - removes the sink from the bin
 - checks that the ghostpad no longer points at the sink's sinkpad.

It currently fails.

In my larger application, I do roughly the same, then (having removed my
element from the pipeline (p1)) I reuse that element in another pipeline (p2).

After that, I unref (and so it gets disposed) p1. Unfortunately, since there's
something in p1 that still points at my element, this incorrectly affects p2.

(I will go into detail later; have to head out now).
