Ok -- after some investigation, it seems that the memory leak comes
weirdly from some code in xmms, and not in OggVorbis code ;-).

In the meantime, I fixed a problem in the plugin: when /dev/dsp is not
available for any reason, it causes xmms to crash (required error code
given back to xmms in the plugin, is not handled).

I wrote a patch to current code for this, if someone with cvs access could
be interested you can tell me.
