[Bug 915768] [NEW] Memory Leak when playing video with gstreamer

 

Public bug reported:

While testing video playback with XBMC (using latest packages from TI
PPA plus latest gst-ducati and gst-plugins-based from gitorious), it
seems there's a huge mem leak happening while decoding the video, as
after 15 mins xbmc.bin was already using more than half of the system
memory.

This issue can also be reproduced by using gst-launch, even with
videosink=fakesink, so it's probably a leak while decoding the video.

To test just get a video with more than 10mins, and play using gst-
launch and playbin2. At the same time start top at another terminal, and
you'll see gst-launch using more memory as the video goes on.
