            Bug ID: 768762
           Summary: qtmux and matroskamux reported as leaking by the leaks
                    tracer
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gdesmott at gnome.org
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

The element 'elements/qtmux' and 'elements/matroskamux' tests are reported as
leaking by the leaks tracer.
That's because they have GstBuffer in their template caps ('streamheader',
'codec_data'). The template caps are leaked hence are the buffers.

One way to fix this would be to mark the buffers owned by such caps as leaked
as well (cf attached patch) but we did not go for this option when we
introduced the LEAKED flag (see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766008#c16 ).

According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766008#c20 the tests
should be change to not use such caps but I don't know the details.
