I did some more testing and found out that renice have nothing to do with
the leak. It might speed it up some. I can only get mplayer to leak if I
use gmplayer with alsa9. When gmplayer start to play a movie it use 24M.
After 15 min ut use 140M. I can't se a whole movie because I run out of
ram. I only have 448+384.
