-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When running ffmpeg continuously receiving an HLS stream for days, it
 slowly leaks memory. This behaviour is a degradation after release 4.0. To
 me it seems to be introduced by commit
 673d8cfd51888963caafe46a6d9a8691d0e91caa "avformat/hls: fix seeking around
 EVENT playlist after media sequence"

 It introduced new free_segment_dynarray(struct segment * * segments, int
 n_segments), which cleans all elements of segments, but not frees segments
 array itself. As a result, call at line 933 leaks:

 free_segment_dynarray(prev_segments, prev_n_segments);

 I guess that can be fixed by adding av_freep(prev_segments) immediately
 afterwards.
