Playing back this video:

 http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/david/nanonote/bbb.ogv

Mplayer memory usage increases by approx 3 MB/minute.  Using -vc theora
does not change anything.  However, memory usage stays (almost) constant
when played using -demuxer ogg .

That's all I know.  After a few minutes of playback, memory usage
overflows the limited ressources of the NanoNote and the OOM killer gets
rid of the mplayer process.  

I'm just reproducing the problem using my PC with mplayer rev 33304.
Same problem, just that there's enough memory to not care.

cheers,

David
