Once again, this table will get deleted if (and only if) all "Medium" objects get deleted.  (Recall that "Medium" objects are deleted by calling "Medium::close()".)

That's correct.  Note that the call to "UsageEnvironment::reclaim()" will reclaim all allocated memory, but *only if* all "Medium" objects have already been deleted.

But the best/easiest way to reclaim all of the memory for all of the LIVE555-allocated objects is simply to call "exit(0)" - i.e., by exiting the entire process.  (But I forget - this is the 21st century.  For some odd reason, software developers now have forgotten how to structure their applications using multiple processes :-)
