Yes, this is trivial, but it is only true if we allocate it with malloc.  In 
windows, it is allocated via CoTaskMemAlloc (or CreateMediaType), and you can't 
use 'free' on that.  The problem is that I don't know how to call win32 API 
functions inside DS_Filter and have them work with win32.c and native.  It may 
be easy to do, so if someone could give me an example, I could implement it 
properly.  Again, I'm not sure it is really worth the effort though.
