I just discovered the source of a memory leak in my mod, Smashball. It appears that if you call EmitSound using an MP3 sound file, memory is allocated and never returned. Specifically, "enginesound->EmitSound(...)" ( /game/shared/SoundEmitterSystem.cpp line 460 ) is the function that allocates the memory. Thus, if you play an MP3 over and over, it will eventually cause HL2 to run out of memory. When playing a wave file, no memory is allocated via EmitSound.
