Hi Patrick,

please excuse the late reply.

Deleting pfMPClipTextures in Performer is broken.
A workaround seems to exist for the single-pipe case, by
actively managing the reference counts and other gyrations,
although I have never tried this myself.

Deletion of cliptextures in a multipipe setting is simply not
supported.

If you want to discuss this further, please contact me directly.

Regards,
Paolo
