  ao_alsa9/1.x - ALSA-0.9.x-1.x output plugin for MPlayer

  (C) Alex Beregszaszi
  
  modified for real alsa-0.9.0-support by Zsolt Barat <[e-mail]>
  additional AC3 passthrough support by Andy Lo A Foe <[e-mail]>  
  08/22/2002 iec958-init rewritten and merged with common init, zsolt
  04/13/2004 merged with ao_alsa1.x, fixes provided by Jindrich Makovicka
  04/25/2004 printfs converted to mp_msg, Zsolt.
