Is there way to "perfectly" collect garbages for decoded audios between navigations

Hi!

I have an app that is always loading 5x audio files to play in sync. All audio files are 5-10 minutes long. So it's easily eating 1gb of ram after decode. This is ok, works well without problems. But when i quit from a project, i see memory usage only downgrades %20-30 at most. So eventually, it adds up if i surf between projects and whenever i hit 3.2gb ram app crashes.

I'd like to hear your suggestions. I'd be appreciated if you mention what's the perfect "release" method though for removing loaded audios from ram while using this plugin.

Should i make small chunks on server and use buffer source queue instead? Or is there a way to load files from hard drive, not ram? Or maybe i should optimize the ram usage, but how? :/

Thank you!

Speaking from my experience with GC, there is not really a way to enforce "release" of an object. It chooses time of the destruction on its own. However, it should act in a way that would enable you to use an app, as long as you are not keeping reference to too many objects (which makes them obviously unable to being freed by GC). Can you put some code snippet here how you handle buffers, maybe you use some singletons?
