    @heyheni Its a streaming issue, we have audio data being streamed into NodeJs for some processing. I have being monitoring it with the devtools and the heap memory seems to be stable. It releases the data after a stream is over. BUT somehow, there is a native memory leak. The overall node process still keeps the memory and does not release it! :(

    Locks, file handles, and streams, oh my!

    Monitor using internal counters - external tools will not help tracking down who holds the memory.
    Smart Money is on the audio native lib keeping its buffers alive.
