liferea thread debug info

Running Epiphany 3.4.3 on Fedora 17 amd64 and Liferea 1.10-RC1, both using
WebKitGTK+ (Version 1.8.3-1, WebKit 535.22) as browser engine.

Problem description:
The applications do not close/release all resources needed when playing HTML5
videos (i.e. videos not using Adobe flash).

Steps to reproduce (for Epiphany and Liferea):
 1. Watch multiple youtube videos (without flash player)
 2. close all tabs (for Epiphany: except one) but keep application running
 3. Open GNOME sound menu / GNOME control center | audio: It will list many
instances of Epiphany/Liferea making audio output. htop and similar tools will
list _many_ subprocesses/threads of epiphany/liferea running. Overall memory
usage of Epiphany/Liferea is big.

Expected behavior:
WebKitGTK+ should release all resources when closing related tabs
