It is not memory leak, it is that 
OS is caching the media file while playing it.

although it is not freed as "free memory" in the activity monitor,
it is inactive, and could be exchanged into page files any time, if there are 
any other memory request.

This is the OS behavior. There are ways to turn off the OS caching mechanism, 
but this may
cause lag, especially on relative slow media (external drive) for some HD 
contents.
