Why do i get an assertion here?

General JUCE discussion
1

demoSong1InputStream  is a ScopedPointer<MemoryInputStream> , and already filled with a MemoryInputStream

when i use 

demoSong1InputStream = new MemoryInputStream(BinaryData::loop_ogg, BinaryData::loop_oggSize,false); 

a second time i get an assertion

   virtual ~ReferenceCountedObject()

    {
        // it's dangerous to delete an object that's still referenced by something else!
        jassert (getReferenceCount() == 0);
    }
 

but MemoryInputStream isn't ReferenceCountedObject, isn't it, how can that be?

Most likely that you've deleted the first object somewhere else, and the scopedpointer is left with a dangling pointer.

well yes, you are right. The WeakReference in the stacktrace irritated me. Thanks
