Only if you promise to never drop CCs again (although I don't know about 
plugins).

That's the ALSA snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca(). No such warning here, but I've 
made it a regular malloc.

I guess because noone wrote one :-)

It seems by the way that dir != 0 _can_ be returned for hw devices, and this 
just ignores it. Just some rounding issue I guess.
