Description Morgan Lindqvist 2014-01-17 13:39:50 UTC 
There is a significant memory leak in the pay loader for VP8 (about 1MB every 4-5 second). The computer will run out of memory quite fast when sending VP8 video.

The leak can be seen with the following get-launch command and "top".

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! vp8enc ! rtpvp8pay ! fakesink

As we can see this bug is not fixed in 1.2 or master.

Will backport to 1.2 later.
