That depends upon the nature of the valgrind warnings.  Some of them are
normal and not worth a bug report.  For instance, the warnings about the
dynamic loader functions are false positives.  Anything about closing non-open
file descriptors are also false positives.  However, if you have a bad read
(somewhat bad) or a bad write (very bad) in non-codec code, those are worth a
look to see if we can do something about them.
