Hi Alexandre, Doing a texture->setImage(image) will do unref the old image before assigning and ref'ing the new one, so memory management should work just fine. The memory leak you are percieving is almost certainly not down to the core OSG code like Texutre::setImage. I'd recommend that you double check you own code, and also how you are monitoring the memory leak, as sometime the memory tracking tools produce false positives.
As a general comment, I'd also recommend use osg::ImageStream (as subclass from osg::Image) as a base for streamed images, the xine and quicktime plugins both have movie reading code that provide their own subclass from osg:::ImageStream so have a look at these for inspiration.
