How to properly release the memory used by a pipeline?

Hi,

Your code looks fine at first glance. Setting pipeline to NULL state
and unrefing it should be all that's needed. You don't use the bus, so
you're not leaking bus messages either.

How do you measure "memory grows every time"?

You can use

  G_SLICE=always-malloc valgrind --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=no
gst-launch-1.0 ...

(might want to use some .supp suppression files which you can find in
the gstreamer git repos).

Cheers
