[gst-devel] while memproffing a few pipelines ...

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

... I came to a couple of questions.

1) disksink, when queried for the filename through the properties, creates 
a duplicate of the filename.  Is this the right behaviour ? because the 
resulting string is not freed when it's asked for by the element_save 
functions.

2) I have a pipeline, which, at a given time, I pause.  I remove an 
element from the bin using gst_bin_remove, then try to unref or destroy 
it.  This doesn't work as (shown by asserts) removing it from the bin 
removes the element's GST_OBJECT status.
Is gst_bin_remove supposed to decrease the element's refcount ?

3) Running
memprof tools/gst-launch fakesrc num_buffers=1 ! fakesink
indicates that (on my machine) about 5 MB is kept by the xml tree.  Should 
they be freed somewhere ?
