annotate libao2/ao_alsa9.c @ 7050:a5b2b377ab50

changed spdif default from "hw:0,2" to general alias "iec958" based on a patch by Benedikt Hunz <[e-mail]> corrected typo in ugly spdif-warning message added 32/20bit modes for 'high-end'-soundcards disabled hw-mixer-access for big-endian machines (mplayer seems to screw up hw-mixer on LinuxPPC running ALSA needs more testing, but its safer to disable it for now.)
