API memory allocator

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #429 was opened from sylware:

If I recall properly some data returned from the alsa lib API must be free using the C runtime free().

Would it be appropriate to move away from the C allocator to an API install-able memory allocator (like vulkan3D)?

Backward compatibility would be achieved since the "default memory allocator" would be the C one, if the C runtime is around.

Unless that part of the API is already deprecated (and I should not have used it).
