dsnoop memory leak

["Иван Больсунов" <bolsunov@telum.ru>]

Since alsa bug tracker does not work for me for weeks, I have to report bug here. Sorry if it a wrong place.

So, to reproduce memory leak (Alsa lib used v.1.0.27), you have to use next asound.conf:

pcm_slave.myslave
{
    pcm                 "hw:0,0"
}

pcm.mysnoop
{
    type                dsnoop
    ipc_key             1024
    slave               myslave
}

Then you simply do:

snd_pcm_open(&pcm_handle, "mysnoop", SND_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE, SND_PCM_NONBLOCK);
snd_pcm_close(pcm_handle);
snd_config_update_free_global();

Valgrind will show something like this:
