I have setup an HTPC based on oxine + vdr It has 2gigs of RAM and another 2gigs of Swap space Upon booting it uses about 300megs of RAM.
5 hours later (running vdr all this time) I notice most of the ram is in use.
Is this a known memory leak or a design feature?
If a known memory leak is there a patch for it or we need to wait for 1.7.5?
I include a snapshot of top
