cc me in any replies.  I'm not subscribing to the list because i'm
moving in a week and this email address will no longer work. 

ok, i'll say this again.  It does not matter what kind of file you're
playing or what codec you're using.  

the only difference between mplayer -v in gui mode and console mode is
that CACHE_PRE_INIT changes, but it changes everytime you run it in
console mode too.  and of course Cache fill , the line under it,
changes. 

All you need to do to reproduce the problem is start in gui mode, and
start playing a file, watch memory usage, it will increase gradually. 
Stop the file, play another.  Watch memory usage increase still.  You
should see significant memory usage after only 5 minutes of doing this. 
here are my two configs.   There is nothing more detailed about the
situation.   

mplayer starts up with something like 25MB of memory usage.  When
playing a file this increases to like 27 or so.  Starting up in gui mode
has mplayer at about 31.  This gradually increases with player use. 
300K/s or so.  you have to watch top.

##
## MPlayer config file
##
## This file can be copied to /etc/mplayer.conf and/or ~/.mplayer/config .
## If both exist, the ~/.mplayer/config's settings override the
## /etc/mplayer.conf ones. And, of course command line overrides all.
## The options are the same as in the command line, but they can be specified
## more flexibly here. See below.
##

 vo=xv			# To specify default video driver (see -vo help for
			# list)

ao=oss		# To specify default audio driver (see -ao help for
			# list)

#fs=yes			# Enlarges movie window to your desktop's size.
			# Used by drivers: all

# fsmode=0		# This option workarounds some problems when using
			# specific windowmanagers and fullscreen mode. If you
			# experience fullscreen problems, try changing this
			# value between 0 and 7. Hint: either 0 or 1 should
			# be sufficient.
			# 0 = new method (since 0.18pre3)
			# 1 = ICCCWM patch (for KDE2/icewm)
			# 2 = old method (0.17a)
			# 3 = ICCCWM patch + Motif method

# vm=no			# Tries to change to a different videomode
			# Used by drivers: dga2, x11, sdl

# bpp=0			# Force changing display depth.
			# Valid settings are: 0, 15, 16, 24, 32
			# may need 'vm=yes' too.
			# Used by drivers: fbdev, dga2, svga, vesa

# zoom=no		# Enable software scaling (powerful CPU needed)
			# Used by drivers: svga, x11, vesa

# double=yes		# use double-buffering (recommended for xv with
			# SUB/OSD usage)

# monitoraspect=4:3	# standard monitor size, with square pixels
# monitoraspect=16:9	# use this for widescreen monitor! non-square pixels

##
## Use GUI mode by default
##

 gui = no

##
## Specify your preferred default skin here
## (skins are searched in /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/yourskin
##  and ~/.mplayer/Skin/yourskin)
##

 skin = default

##
## Multiple languages are available :)
##
## Hungarian	igen	nem
## English	yes	no
## German	ja	nein
## Spanish	si	no
## Binary	1	0
##
## You can also use spaces and/or tabs.
##

# sound		= 1
# nosound	= nein
# mixer		= /dev/mixer
# master	= no		# no : set PCM volume  	yes : set MASTER volume

##
## resample the fonts' alphamap
## 0	plain white fonts
## 0.75	very narrow black outline (default)
## 1	narrow black outline
## 10	bold black outline
##

# ffactor = 0.75

##
## FBdev driver: specify your monitor's timings, so resolutions
## can be autodetected.
## (see for example /etc/X11/XF86Config for timings!)
## ** CAUTION! IF YOUR DISPLAY DOESN'T SUPPORT AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF WHEN
##    OVERDRIVED (AND EVEN IF IT DOES), THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR DISPLAY!
##    WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE, IT'S YOUR DECISION! **
##
## k, K : means multiply by 1000
## m, M : means multiply by 1.000.000
##

# fb = /dev/fb0				# framebuffer device to use
# fbmode = 640x480-120			# use this mode (read from fb.modes!)
# fbmodeconfig = /etc/fb.modes		# the fb.modes file
# monitor_hfreq = 31.5k-50k,70k		# horizontal frequency range
# monitor_vfreq = 50-90			# vertical frequency range
# monitor_dotclock = 30M-300M		# dotclock (or pixelclock) range

##
## SDL driver
##
pp = 4

# vo = sdl:aalib	# use SDL video driver by default
			# use "vo = sdl:aalib" or "vo sdl:dga" and so on,
			# for specifying SDL subdrivers
# ao = sdl:esd		# use SDL audio driver by default
			# use "ao = sdl:esd" to use SDL's ESD driver
# noxv = no		# whether to use XVideo hardware acceleration or not
# forcexv = yes		# force XVideo even if not detected

# nodshow		# disable usage of DirectShow video codecs

##
## Other (preferred to be default from configfile) switches
##

framedrop 	= yes	# drop frames, when not in sync (slow CPU, videocard,
			# etc)

# vfm		= 5	# use libavcodec video codec family (you know,
			# opensource DivX for example.. So preferred default on
			# non-x86 boxes)

cache		= 8192	# use 8Mb input cache by default

# slang		= en	# DVD : display english subtitles if available
# alang		= en	# DVD : play english audio tracks if available

## This is the correct way to use "subconfig" type options in the
## configuration file. In the command line you use :
## -aop list=resample:fout=44100 , but here it is :
# aop=list=resample:fout=44100

##
## You can also include other configfiles
## Specify full path!
##
## Delete this default :)
