Fluid MIDI (fluidline) Memory Leak

VLC 3.0.0 Windows, 64bit:

If I am currently playing a midi file (or just finished playing a midi file) and open a new midi file (in the same VLC as the other one), the soundfont is loaded into memory again (indicated by the yellow-ish thing going trough the scrubber bar).

This is a) unnecessary, since VLC could just continue to use the soundfont b) creates a memory leak with VLC using up 300ish MB more everytime i open a midi file (noticed it when VLC use more than 2 gigabytes of RAM while playing a simple midi with a 241MB soundfont)
