Description Christian Meyer 2002-09-29 15:32:42 UTC 
In the current GstElementFactory class of Gstreamer,
gst_element_factory_add_pad_template() refs the GstPadTemplate but it will
never get unrefed again.
This makes wrapping the class quite hard, thus needs to be fixed ASAP.
Comment 1 Wim Taymans 2003-01-17 16:52:22 UTC 
The elementfacory is currently never unreffed (we don't unload
registries). Old Padtemplates are unreffed in the _add_template method
when a new template with the name name is added. 

Can you clarify why this can be a problem?
