Did you try running the code under valgrind? Using that, and looking at
the definitely/indirectly lost entries is usually helpful. There will be
a number of false positives, some of which can be suppressed with the
suppressions file in the common/ directory in the gstreamer sources. 

With a quick run of your code over 2 iterations, I see no leaks.
