That's because "testMPEG2TransportStreamer" works by continuously 
streaming to the same destination - by reading the same file over and 
over again.  I.e., the 'destination' objects ("videoSink" and "rtcp") 
are created just once, and reused each time, whereas the 'source' 
objects ("fileSource" and "videoSource") are destroyed and then 
recreated each time we reach the end of the input file.

There is no memory leak here.
