[MPlayer-users] BUG: memory leak in endless loop mplaylist playing

[Andrew Savchenko]

Hi, all!

I'm using almost recent MPlayer dev-SVN-r21458-4.0.2.
While I playing with this command:
mplayer -shuffle -loop 0 -playlist playlist_file -af volnorm=2
I've got endless playing of course.

Then check a memory usage. I grows at about 50-60 
Mbytes/per_day_of_playing of resident memory. I've checked for 
some days, it grows to some hundreds of memory. It's a pity.

Each file in list is about 4-5 min length (in average), they're 
mostly ogg music. 

Then I've forced file switching in list (by '>' or '<' key). Memory 
leak clearly appears: $ top -p <mplayer pid1> -p <mplayer pid2> 
shows memory grow by about 200 Kbyte/per_new_file (resident 
memory). This is in conformance with per day results (24*60/5*0.2 
~= 58 MBytes/per day).

So, it seems that there is a memory leakage while switching to new 
file in list. I'm slightly in doubt how debug this to provide 
additional data.

I've checked with some previous versions (down to about pre8), it 
seems it is a very old bug.
