This is very easy to reproduce with a file of type: "MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex"

Howto reproduce: just start playing a file of the type mentioned above, then during playing click with the mouse on random places on the progress bar so it continues to play from there, then hit pause (space bar), if no freeze try clicking the progress bar and pause a few more times...
It gets this memory leak/system freeze in less then 20 seconds.
