Memory Leak in Sample Gstreamer Application

[Aditya]

Hi,

I am finding memory Leaks in the Sample Application given in the Gstreamer
Manual.
I am using 0.10.36 Gstreamer core and gst-plugins-base package.

This is the valgrind command I have used

export G_SLICE=always-malloc
export G_DEBUG=gc-friendly

valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes
--time-stamp=yes --undef-value-errors=no --malloc-fill=0xc --free-fill=0xd
--freelist-vol=100000000 --trace-children=yes --num-callers=50
--suppressions=gst.supp --log-file=valgrind_gst ./gstapp nancy.mp4

I am seeing lots of possibly lost memory in the gst_element_factory_make(..)

==3883== 9,936 bytes in 207 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 2,501 of
2,524
==3883==    at 0x4A0620D: realloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:476)

(gstelementfactory.c:362)
==3883==    by 0x4C53D7B: gst_element_factory_make (gstelementfactory.c:455)

I had tried running the app in a loop and saw the Resident memory on the
system increasing.
I have referred to the previous posts but could not figure out why there is
lots of possibly lost memory.

Am I missing something ?

Rgds,
