Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
When movies are played with ASS fonts enabled like with this command:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau -ass -embeddedfonts The\ Girl\ Who\
Leapt\ Through\ Time.mkv
mplayer uses huge amount of RAM memory. The same problem appears both
with fonts built into the video stream and also when using external .srt
fonts when they are transcended to ASS by mplayer.
I believe this is a regression because i have never had this problem
with mplayer in Lucid or in previous versions of Ubuntu.
