Comment (by mg3242):

 i cant say if it does not free the a resource, as i only see ffmpeg
 consume more and more memory until it runs out of it. until it runs out of
 ram, it performs as designed. i am using now ASAN to document the leak.
 for some reason it did not write it as a file with this parameters:
 ASAN_OPTIONS=log_path=/home/user/ffmpeg_asan,detect_leaks=1

 but now i am running it in the terminal to get an output directly in the
 terminal.

 Replying to [comment:1 mkver]:
 > Try ASAN instead of Valgrind. It has way better performance.
 > You should also be more explicit about what you mean by leaking: Does it
 mean that ffmpeg consumes ever more memory until it runs out of it? Or
 that it really forgets to free a resource (the former is possible without
 the latter)?
