--- Comment #1 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
Note the documentation

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-Gst.html#gst-deinit

states that "After this call GStreamer (incl. this function) should not be used
any more".

We explicitly don't support gst_init() after gst_deinit(). This is intentional.

The purpose of gst_deinit() is to make detecting some kind of leaks easier, by
having GStreamer clean up some of its global state.

I don't know what leaks there, it might be a leak from GLib/GObject which
doesn't have a way to clean up global allocations. You'd have to provide more
details.
