I don't think it's a bug. (Tho there really _was_ such a bug in 2.0.x) The
problem was the poorly worded response that I sent.

My thought was that you are manipulating a resource and the file that
contains that resource while the sound is playing. If you detach it, copy
it, or fail to close the file at the proper time, you'll lose memory.
