That's a symptom of a runtime leak.

You'll have to investigate were is the leak, you may use the leak tracer (if
it's an actual leak that stays pass the program end). You can also use valgrind
massif, to get a protrait of the runtime memory usage. The leak tracer also got
some ways to drop a snapshot of GStreamer allocation.

Don't forget to call Gst.deinit() ;-P otherwise nothing will show.
