I think what is happening with your upnp client is this -
In order to determine whether the file is something it is able to play it 
starts downloading the whole thing, when it has enough bytes to determine what 
the file type and encoding parameters are it closes the connection without 
downloading any further. Since the new code doesn't detect a client 
disconnection as it's supposed to we keep writing the file data to the socket.

For music these sizes are small, and don't cause the same OOM issue.

Although it's definitely a bug on our end, a better written client would use 
the http range header to only download the bit of the file it wants, it 
wouldn't request the whole thing. A perfect client would just look at the DLNA 
profile to determine the file format.
