Log of the console and "top" message

You cannot duplicate the problem by just playing 2 minutes. The time when the
problem happened depends on the file size and the system memory available.
Attached is the log of the "top" command used to monitor the system free
memory, and the log from console running the gst-launch script. The script run
"cat /proc/meminfo", "date", "gst-launch ...", "date", then "cat
/proc/meminfo". 
I think the problem is related to the flac decoder that build the frame index
table in the system memory, it gets large and large during playing and finally
it gets beyond the free memory limit and trigger the OOM.

Under my system's config (64Mbyte physical memory, gst-launch starts with
49MByte free memory), the problem happens after around 1 hour and 56 minutes
playing. If the system has lower free memory, it happens earlier.
