Description:While adding fax tone detection to ReceiveFAX application I discovered one strange thing in dsp.c. It looks like ast_dsp_process function is supposed to free the frame it received as input (except for the case when it returns that frame back).
However it looks like it does not always free the input frame. Namely, there are two checks:

       if ((dsp->features & DSP_FEATURE_SILENCE_SUPPRESS) && silence) {
and
       if ((dsp->features & DSP_FEATURE_BUSY_DETECT) && ast_dsp_busydetect(dsp)) {

which do not do ast_frfree(af) although they return another frame.

To me it looks like a bug but it can be a feature :) so it worth someone with knowledge to take a look. The fix is straightforward so I'm not supplying the patch.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

probably 1.4 has the same code...

I review the code and you are right, it should be freed.
Patch uploaded, I also check some weird conditions on some channels that doesn't check the return value of this function, and they don't "know" or doit wrong when the return value = NULL, that is a impossible condition (I think (??)).

We need to make sure we free the input frame if we return a different frame in ast_dsp_process.

Issue 11273, pointed out by dimas, with a patch by eliel.
