Can we add fixing bugs?
Perhaps it is a-typical, but the `memory leak` thingie did not go too
well. And still doesn't.

Even when we reproduce the 'MythTV records but doesn't write mpegs'
issue the memory consumption goes up steadily.
I.e.: we see assumed leaks and we see a lack of error checking.

Who is assuming lead in making sure that this piece of free software
uses part of the resources to make stuff less buggy?
