No there is no quarantee on all platforms... but then, we dont design
for broken OS :)

About the memleaks, I know there is (or at least was one about a year
ago) which i encountered when i was listening to mp3s on my laptop while
learning for the exams. After 7 or 8 hours, mplayer usualy crashed with
an out of memory. It somewhat seemed that either the mp3 demuxer or the
playtree forgot to free memory on every new file. Dunno whether this has
been fixed or not, also dunno whether it can be still reproduced.
