Is there a memory leak in alsa-lib? When playing music with a player I'm writing (TCVP, http://tcvp.sf.net), the memory usage reported by top grows for each file I play, but only if I use ALSA for sound playback. If I use OSS the memory usage varies around 1.5 MB, but if I use ALSA, it starts at 1.9 MB (OK, libasound takes some space) and grows by 30-40 kB for each played file. Running the whole thing under valgrind gives me this, which is all alsa-related. When using OSS, valgrind reports no leaks.
