hi,

I took a look at the two problems, the second one is easy to fix, but
I am at a loss for the first one.
I am not very good at coding for ALSA, and it seems that
snd_midi_event_new is unconditionally followed by a snd_midi_event_free().

Could you also supply me with the information how to reproduce this
exactly ? I tried with "valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes",
(just running the pd test audio and midi patch) and the below
message didn't show up.

As a last question, is someone else on the list having the same problems
with the latest Debian package ?
If so, as a last resort I can remove the ALSA sequencer support from the
Debian package.

Greetings,

Guenter
