[Asterisk-Users] Re: 1.2b2/mpg123 and memory usage

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Following up on my post from yesterday, I upgraded two machines to  
1.2rc1.

One of the uses mpg123 and the other one does not. The one that does  
not use mpg123 simply does not offer ANY MOH.

Calls come in through the box which does not use mpg123 (box A) and  
are forwarded to the other box (the one using mpg123) (box B) using  
IAX trunks and are then answered by SIP clients connected to this  
second box.

After 4 hours of testing, box A's memory usage has only increased by  
5 MB, while for box B, memory usage has increased by 1.2GB of RAM.

Could there be a memory leak by using mpg123? Could there be  
something else going on? Any advice?

Thanks,
Waldo
