            Bug ID: 766053
           Summary: uridownloader should take ownership of its source
                    element
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

The URI downloader is creating the source element with
gst_element_factory_make() that returns a floating reference that nobody is
consuming. This is causing problems in WebKit, where the smart pointers used to
take references of the source elment get confused and end up consuming the
floating reference and then releasing the element, which usually crashes
because the URI downloader still tries to use its src element. See
