v3b5 Memory Leak Issue With Waveform Module

Hello. There seems to be a massive memory leak issue within v3b5 pertaining to the Waveform module. My project kept scaling in RAM until I would run out. I was pulling out my hair to narrow down the issue, and it turned out to be the Waveform module itself. After disabling, Magic is not eating my RAM. I thought ya'll should be aware.

If I start a new blank project and add a Waveform module with my default laptop microphone input, I don't see any memory leaking — it is perfectly stable. Are there any other steps I need in order to reproduce it?
Also, what is "CABLE Output"? Your virtual audio router right? Perhaps that's where the leak is?

I ran audio through the virtual cable into the Waveform for 10 mins. When it first started, memory jumped by 10MB (probably a buffer) but stayed at that for the duration.
