[Live-devel] a question about "doEventLoop()" in playCommon.cpp

I don't think that there is a memory leak in 
"doEventLoop()".  However, writing to the "QuickTimeFileSink" class 
consumes memory, to build indexing information.  (This is necessary, 
because ".mov" (and ".mp4") files write the indexing information at 
the end of the file, after the audio/video data.)  However, once the 
whole file has been written, the indexing information will be freed 
(in "QuickTimeFileSink::~QuickTimeFileSink()").

>How should I  stream more "quicktime" file  one by one  ?

Make sure that "QuickTimeFileSink::~QuickTimeFileSink()" gets called each time.
