I again tried the test program, I set the first timeout to 700 seconds. In 5
minutes memory consumption went from  < 1% to 6.8% on my 16GB machine.

I used htop to monitor memory consuption. It was steadily rising during the
recording. After five minutes I stopped the program.

This is really disturbing. I wish I could isolate this leak and get some useful
valgrind logs.

As I mentioned before, with x264enc there is no such leakage.

Various leakage was reported many times before for Kazam Screencaster.

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Merely guessing, could it be a problem in PyGObject and introspection? I've
seen problems with it before.
