[CELT-dev] Memory leak when specifying invalid channels count

[Jean-Marc Valin]

OK, this is fixed in git now. The bad news is that it goes with an API 
change (unrelated to the bug fix). The good news is that this will 
hopefully be the final API. The main thing that changed is that for 
"standard" modes, a CELTMode object is no longer necessary to create an 
encoder or decoder. For "non-standard" modes, the old behaviour can be 
obtained using celt_encoder_create_custom() and simiar for the init() 
calls and decoder creation. Please try this out and report any problem 
you encounter.

Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
