Subject: Memory leaks in alsa-lib
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 18:07:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yw1xznhxpvou.fsf@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
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.
