Well, back then I did a really stupid testing procedure by Ctrl-C FFMPEG
before letting it clean-up the memory, which I admitted in follow-up email.
I did retested it recently, and found out that while all memory indeed
released in the end, during the run it just growing.

Well, this probably has several points of view, one of them that if even if
the program releases all correctly, but still eventually runs out of memory
while running, it can be considered as a leak.

I can send you a WAN URL to check it out.

Thanks again.
