releasing a request pad

[rashmi]

I have  in my code requested for a tee pad using:
			srcpad = gst_element_get_request_pad (tee,"src0");
	g_print ("Obtained request pad %s for tee.\n", gst_pad_get_name
(tee_video_pad));
which is linked to some bin and later on released by:
			gst_element_release_request_pad (tee, srcpad);
At some later point in my code i again request a pad for tee
			srcpad = gst_element_get_request_pad (tee,"src0");
g_print ("Obtained request pad %s for tee.\n", gst_pad_get_name
(tee_video_pad));

This time however the "Obtained request pad for tee shows it got src1 for
tee".
I again release the pad and request it yet again with the same statement:
srcpad = gst_element_get_request_pad (tee,"src0");
 for third time.Again I find the "Obtained request pad for tee as src2"(i.e
incremented by 1).
Does it mean that the requested pad for tee is never freed by the statement
:
gst_element_release_request_pad (tee, srcpad);

If no then how can I free a pad that was previously requested.I have tried
gst_element_remove_pad and gst_object _unref(srcpad). both with no success.
