I have a pipeline that sends audio through an appsrc and over a network via RTP and UDP. It is set up with gst_parse_launch and the following string:
appsrc name=appsrc
! audio/x-raw,format=S16LE,layout=interleaved,channels=2,depth=16,rate=16000
! audioconvert
! rtpL16pay pt=96
! rtpjitterbuffer latency=10
! udpsink host=10.90.90.100 port=4000
It works. However, I decided that I didn't need an rtpjitterbuffer, since the data aren't coming from an unreliable source, so I took it out. Now the pipeline still "works", but it leaks memory, apparently never freeing the buffers. I'm using gst_app_src_push_buffer, which is documented as taking ownership of the buffer, meaning that the appsrc or something downstream of it is expected to unreference it. But it's hard to see how removing something several elements down the pipeline could cause it
not to free the buffer.
So what should I do? I really don't want the overhead of rtpjitterbuffer (which I assume contains another thread), so should I just call gst_object_unref even though I shouldn't have to? Or is there something I'm missing?
