Hey Gerald.
Thanks for the data you gathered. It certainly proves we have a
memleak problem. As you point out it's probably related to the
playlist, but that is not directly a give and likely is not the only
memleak there is.
I'll have a go finding it before the next release anyway.

I'm sharing this with the developer list.
