Hi

1. Orphants still exists and it doesn't depend on my Mplayer version. I've
made
compilation several times with different configure switchs. (SVN / stable
binaries / old version)
Currently my mplayerplug-in sources comes from CVS (in 100% pure).. and
I've drop all my changes.
So I assume, we stil have a bug somewhere (The orphants comes rarely)

2. I've check memory leaks (i've got some tools for it), and everythings
looks fine.
My problem with memory consumptions was founded, and fixed. :) It was
connected with my "firebugs" plugin, which collects additional
informations and grown up to 300MB.

In current stage I am trying to make my application more stable, everything
is working at this moment.

Thanks
Zbigniew
