Okay got my dev pc back and tested this. The test case in the description is passing with the wily-proposed package, 2.10.11-0ubuntu4.1
Had to adjust the fd limit i originally suggested for the test to be more reliable - 20 was a bit too low and was sometimes failing during startup even, so I used 40 instead - but it always returns to the original number so there's no leak. Also tested in combination with the new gstreamer packages, and in a VM with no sound - I think that covers every known fd leak source.
