Please share the valgrind log (e.g. put it on a pastbin site and include
the link). Please look for 'definitely lost' entries and those where it
is > 1 block, since that could be a reoccuring leak which would cause a
growth in memory use.

I just retested:
vg_memcheck gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc num-buffers=1000 ! level
post-messages=true interval=30000 ! fakesink
...
==26201== LEAK SUMMARY:
==26201==    definitely lost: 16,384 bytes in 1 blocks
==26201==    indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==26201==      possibly lost: 610 bytes in 4 blocks
==26201==    still reachable: 43,134 bytes in 685 blocks
==26201==         suppressed: 480,576 bytes in 1,363 blocks

no growith leak. But I can confirm that top/htop shows a growth in
memory usage if post-messages=true.
Maybe file a bug with these information. Next step would be to review
the code and check if we're actually leaking, or if e.g. we're just
queueing up messages.
