Thank you for including a repro file and the steps to get to the issue.

Honestly, this memory leak has lasted for like over a month already. The numbers in ‘StreamingSounds’ is bulked up for some reason.

Apologies for the delay. Unfortunately this is taking longer than expected since its a tough issue to fix.

We’re expecting a fix in the next couple of weeks. I’ll update the thread once the fix is live.
