Description Steve Daulton 2017-03-28 16:51:42 UTC

This is our old Nyquist memory management problem again, but it shouldn't be happening in Clipfix. Initially marked as P3. Assigned to myself.

Tested on Linux.
Memory now remains within reasonable bounds. Tested with 1 hour stereo 44100 Hz.

Comment 2 Gale Andrews 2017-04-12 22:26:41 UTC

Tested with files up to two hours in length on the three platforms.  Very successful - I see only 10 or 20 MB of memory used.  

Demoted on closure from P3 to P4 because no release note was provided.
