yes, it's a known problem.
at least, only a few codec and vo has correct uninit/free implemenetd,
others are init-only. it comes form old times, when mplayer was able to play
only one file, and no one cares about uninitialization.

afaik avcodec uninit is ok, mp3libs too.
maybe SDL vo has no uninit implemented well, try with -vo x11 and tell me if
it still eats the same amount of memory.
