I'm still running VLC 1.1.9 on Natty, so I followed the suggestions from comments #47 and #57 and switched to the ALSA audio plugin, explicitly selecting a non-default sound device. Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the problem on my machine. The memory leak seems to occur much more infrequently, but it does still occur from time to time. Don't know if it's just me, but it seems PULSE audio is not the only culprit here. ;)
I'm running Kubuntu 11.04 64bit on a Thinkpad T520.
Is there anything I can provide to help you hunting down this bug? As mentioned above, the problem occurs very infrequently, so getting logs etc. might take some time. But if it helps, I'd be happy to give it a try...
