Valgrind IS slow, which may have affected it's analysis; it is telling 
me something in libalsa is broken. I would think that would have been
discovered before. Anyway, I'll try this dmalloc thing, maybe it will
tell me about something else more likely before I start grepping the
source of whatever version of libalsa I have installed.
