We are streaming video from a ashx implementing IHttpAsyncHandler to our Silverlight client.
On the clientside the async handler is getting use in a implementation of MediaStreamSource.
It all runs fine in latest Firefox, chrome and also in Internet Explorer 8.
But in Internet Explorer 9 we see a memory leak. I have been using umdh to debug the memory and have found a callstack that used 127mb between to dumps of the memory. So i think i have narrowed it down to this callstack.
But now i don't know now to continue with my debugging. Here is the umdh info:
First the compare between first run and second
