pavucontrol is leaking memory
I just compiled v2.0 to see if the bug still exists and it does.

Watching the process rss size I find it leaking between 20-22kb per second but only while playing some stream remotely.
It gets worse when playing multiple remote streams.

pavucontrol also leaks memory when creating new streams. I am seeing this for local and remote streams. pavucontrol consumes around 120kb per stream created. (I used paplay to play a very short wav file)

Versions used:
Pulseaudio: 3.0-0ubuntu6
pavucontrol: 2.0 (self compiled)
