[PATCH v2 1/9] audio/alsaaudio: Replace ALSA alloca() by malloc() equivalent

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The ALLOCA(3) man-page mentions its "use is discouraged".

Define the cleanup functions for the snd_pcm_[hw/sw]_params_t types,
and replace the ALSA alloca() calls by equivalent ALSA malloc().
