Hmm, I still don't know how to figure out which backend is being used.  I've 
used xfce4-settings-editor, and the list of channels includes:
displays, keyboard-layout, keyboards, thunar, thunar-volman, 
xfce4-{desktop,keyboard-shortcuts,mixer,panel,power-manager,session,settings-editor,settings-manager},
 xfwm4, xsettings
On my Debian system, I can't find anything approximating xvd.
I'm not clear how I select the backend for xfce4-volumed{,-pulse} :(

I do know that I have pulseaudio running with xfce4-volumed on my vanilla 
xfce4-volumed:
redfield:~ $ ps aux | grep pulse
jdg       9925  0.0  0.0  10708   872 pts/2    S+   14:14   0:00 grep pulse
jdg      24918  0.0  0.0 377880  3964 ?        S<l  Apr30   0:00 
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

But that may not necessarily mean that it's the direct backend:
xfce4-volumed is linked to libgstreamer, which has a pulseaudio backend,
so it may be that connection which is leaking memory, perhaps?

Anyway, I'm going to uninstall xfce4-volumed and replace it with xfce4
-volumed-pulse, and leave that running for a few days.  I won't be back
in my office until next Tuesday, so I won't be able to give the results
of this experiment until then.

Thanks!

Julian
