Okay. 
So, "stop the entire pipeline" means call of gst_element_set_state (pipeline,
GST_STATE_NULL), doesn't it? And all of the leaked memory is released after
this call.

If then in "Every time we start and stop a recording (encoding of captured
video), we lose 1-4 frames of memory" What does "start and stop a recording"
mean?
