Bug Description
SRU
-----
[Impact]
Phonon applications that make excessive use of object construction and destruction leak slights amount of memory as phonon gstreamer fails to unref various gstreamer objects thus blocking their deletion.
[Test Case]
* Not testable as the leaks are too small and in functions that no sane application calls more than once every couple of minutes.
[Regression Potential]
* the unrefs have preceding refs, so the potential is very low (only carrying the pointer out of the ref scope would cause that, which does not seem to be the case anywhere

various bits and pieces leak memory in phonon gstreamer 4.6.1
