This may already be a known issue, but I noticed that Effect::ReplaceProcessedWaveTracks properly removes and deletes mWaveTracks entries on performing any of the actual effects, but not on the preview-generated effects when pressing the dialog's Preview button. Each time a preview is executed, (pTrack == pInWaveTrack) always evaluate to false inside the do while loop, and never deletes each pInWaveTrack (mWaveTracks entries) before it deletes mWaveTracks itself, therefore leaking the memory. It appears performing actual effect has mWaveTracks entries in mTracks so when pTrack does equal pInWaveTrack, mWaveTracks entries are deleted, but for previews there are none in mTracks. I don't know how to fix this (modify the code to delete them in that part of the code or add mWaveTracks entries into mTracks for preview-generated effects, etc.), either way it looks way too complicated for me now. I'll leave it up to your more capable hands. Just thought I'd let you know.
