Version 1.0.1 answers the analyzer output on 1.0. Fixed: shell-version no longer lists 51 (45-50 only, all released); the panel equalizer and the card stack are now destroyed and released in MediaModel.destroy(), which disable() reaches through the host; the frame handler of both Clutter.Timeline objects is disconnected where the timeline is stopped, and the card's geometry handlers use connectObject() so they go with the card. Still reported, EGO-L-004: the five GLib.timeout_add sources belong to the media card and to each MPRIS player, and they are removed in the 'destroy' handler of the card and in MprisPlayer.close(), both of which disable() reaches. They are not removed in a destroy() override on purpose: a card is also destroyed by its parent stack, and an override would be skipped in that case, while the 'destroy' handler always runs.
