I dont doubt about ffmpeg leaking memory. Because ffmpeg is used everywhere. If it had such problem, people would have come back with the problem. I tried to change the memory allocated for Linux from 56MB to 120MB. I have 256MB flash. Initially when i run it runs the flv file very well, only after some time..it gradually starts to crash..

so, it is leaking some memory over time and this might be specific to the 
dm6446 implementation.

ffmpeg allocates all memory via av_malloc/ac_free in libavutil/mem.c, maybe you could add some traces there to see if there are large chunks that are allocated and never freed.

Note: Any open source to play flv/flash files/vp6 encoded files or swf files on DM6446 exist?

flv/vp6: ffmpeg

swf: swfdec and gnash, but both barely work on X86.
