macOS Version(s) Used to Build

Xcode Version(s)

Xcode 14

Description

The AudioPlayer class is exhibiting a memory leak issue due to its strong relationship with the mixerNode, which is a Mixer instance, and the playerNode, which is an AVAudioPlayerNode.
This bug causes unreleased resources and potentially impacts the performance and memory usage of the application.

Steps To produce:

• Initialize an instance of the AudioPlayer class
• Initialize an instance of Mixer
• Attach both the mixer and the player into some engine
• Set the player to nil.

Expected Behavior:

The AudioPlayer class should properly release the resources associated with the playerNode and mixerNode instances when they are no longer needed, preventing memory leaks and maintaining optimal performance.

Actual Behavior:

The AudioPlayer class retains strong references to the mixerNode and playerNode instances, even when they are no longer in use. This leads to memory leaks and potentially causes increased memory usage over time.
