The API reference only has this to say of gst_deinit:

        Clean up. Call only once, before exiting. After this call
        GStreamer should not be used anymore.

A text search of the Application Development Manual yielded no mention
of gst_deinit. While that absence certainly lends weight to what you're
saying, it does not add clarity.

So could you elaborate?
