Thanks Pierre! This info is very valuable. At least I know what is
happening, what a relief! I have been trying to figure this one out for many
days.

As a temporary measure, would releasing and recreating a new media instance
for every play help? Or even more, releasing and recreating everything even
the libvlc_instance on every play? Would that reset refcounting to zero and
hide the problem?

Thaks for your help!
