What kind of memory leaking issues? I'm not aware of them. And still haven't found a video it wouldn't play :)

I think our current MPlayer is pretty solid base for updates and it has been working well over the years. Only the non-altivec version is an issue currently. Why to re-invent the wheel while we have the sources available at some developers, just encourage the current developers more :) VLC was so unfinished and unusable that I wouldn't look at that direction.
If I load almost any video more than once it will stop playing if I play and stop a few times or so. I assume that is memory related? I do run a lot of other programs all the time, so perhaps they may be an issue.
I will do some testing, I know one video standard didn't play audio but it played the video.
