No problem, I think its important to follow up reports of things like
memory leaks.

I've found an SD card I had with raspbian and LMS installed rather than
picoreplayer which I usually use, this has a similar debian and perl
version set up to you :

Hostname: raspberrypi
Server IP Address: 172.16.0.59
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Debian - EN_GB - utf8
Platform Architecture: armv7l-linux
Perl Version: 5.28.1 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
Audio::Scan: 1.05
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.060
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)


It has a much more recent version of LMS on it (an 8.3 build).  I've
given BBC Sounds live streams a long test on it, and again I can't
detect any memory leak.   (there may have been some slight creep in
memory footprint, but many many orders of magnitude less than the 2.5mb
per minute you are experiencing!)

I remember it was a bit of a pain to install LMS on it as I had to
compile the LMS 'perl CPAN distribution'
(https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/tree/public/8.3/CPAN)
myself.   
So I suspect that is the source of the problem,  the CPAN that came with
your 7.9.3 distribution of LMS.   I think upgrading your LMS to 8.2 or
8.3 will indeed solve the problem.  Also, the LMS improvements of 8.3
over 7.9.3 really are worth having.

If you don't use your raspberry pi for anything other than hosting LMS, 
I do recommend simply installing picoreplayer on it instead, it makes
installing LMS a simple few simple clicks with no messing about.


I will set aside some time in the coming weeks to set up some perl
memory leak debugging just in case there is something there that might
not get cleaned up in certain circumstanced, just in case.  But I
understand one has to work quite hard to create a memory leak in perl!
