[MPlayer-dev-eng] DGA and mplayer 0.90-rc3 - resource leak

[Lewin A.R.W. Edwards]

Hi Ivan,

I downloaded 4.3.0 and besides badly breaking Nautilus, it does not make
any difference to system performance :)

No, I'm using the standard XFree86 drivers. Also, I can reproduce this
problem on another hardware platform (Geode GX1 CPU/CS5530 graphics). So
it is either a problem in mplayer, or a problem in dga. I have written a
short DGA test program to change video mode to 320x240 then back again,
and run it for >10,000 times without problems. So it appears quite
certain that it is an mplayer-specific issue.

> And of course use the latest CVS of mplayer.

Yesterday's CVS doesn't work at all. If I run with -vo null it works to
decode the audio stream. If I run with -vo anything-else it hangs after
(with -v):
