I could've sworn I fixed that bug. The problem is when it probes the SDL 
backend (opens then closes it to make sure it's useable), the allocated data 
struct isn't cleared to 0, so when it's closed, it tries to free an internal 
pointer that's a garbage value.

I just committed a fix for it, if you want to grab the trunk again. However, 
you may be better off using OpenAL-Soft in the repo instead of OpenAL-Sample 
(it's more up to date and better for ALSA/OSS users).
