[webkit-help] Media Server for WebKit

[Jose Lejin]

With page refresh, document nodes are recreated. So existing mediaplayer
object is destroyed (garbage collected).  Check which
MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer instance destructor is called. Looks like what
u r seeing is the first one. Not the current active mediaplayer instance.
So if server response is not associated correctly
with MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer instance, there will be problems.

For timers refer, 'Timer' class reference in the code.
