annotate libao2/ao_alsa9.c @ 8538:6973e76d95b2

In this situation it was easier to fix yours. I applied these 3 points (fixed locking echo, removed excessive cut to make script a bit faster and shortened grep) and changed copy mark from "x" to "" in order to use -z and -n tests. patch by GoTaR <priv0.onet.pl->gotar>
