Comment (by leavengood):
I need to test but wonder if the media_server just doesn't get notified by
the roster when the sample app (and similar command-line apps) quit?
Therefore it never cleans up resources from that app. Though the test code
from #4920 has a BApplication so should interact with the roster. The only
way to know for sure is add some logging to the media_server.
But nonetheless I think for crashes at least we need a cleanup thread
which periodically goes through the resources in media_server and removes
things for teams which are no longer running.
I do not know if there is a cleaner method. If anyone has suggestions let
me know.
I may also run BeOS and see what threads are in their media_server to see
if there is an obvious cleanup one.
I think this is also the cause of #14755.
Also as mentioned buffer management needs work.
