[gst-devel] memory leaks while seeking

Right now, there is a huge memory leak associated with seeking.  When
viewing matrix.avi in totem, each seek increases the size of the process
by approximately 75M.

I've been trying to use valgrind to determine the source of the leaks. 
Since valgrind has trouble with threaded apps, the whole process is a
bit touchy.  Valgrind 2.1 (the most recent devel version) works better
than 2.0.

Attached is a fragment of valgrind output describing what I think is the
source of the leaked data.  I was hoping that someone who understood the
core and the reference counting semantics of buffers could take a look
and see what they thought.

Thanks,
-J
