[MPlayer-users] Bug: memory leak in MPlayer

[roderick Jansen]

Hello,

I have found a memory leak in MPlayer. It occurs if you run:
mplayer -vo svga  -vf scale=640:480 -playlist playlist
On a FreeBSD 5.1 machine with svgalib 1.4.2
If you run it with -vo null, or with -ao null it will also leak
but if you set BOTH the audio and video output to null, the
leak will be gone. The leak that I am talking about can be
detected by watching the size of the mplayer process
growing each time a new file (playlist entry) is started
After something like 12 hours of playing short (+/- 10 sec)
videoclips it has eaten so much memory that the whole aplication
gets terminated because the system's swapspace is full.


Below there are some more details about my system.
