There's a memory leak in mplayer when rendering ssa subtitles with the -ass
option. It causes it to leak about 1GB for every hour of play. It was discussed
and resolved in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/55228/focus=55463

It was addressed with a series of commits, the last of which is r26068, here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.cvs/8742

So I'd like to request a bump to atleast r26068 to resolve the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get video file, get ssa subtitles.
2. Play with mplayer -ass file
3. Watch your video grind to a halt about an hour in as your machine dies the
death of swap.
