-ao option removed, there is a AUDIO OUTPUT DRIVERS section for that now, said section extended, "," should be ":" as pointed out by joyping.

.SH "AUDIO OUTPUT OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY)"
.TP
.B \-abs <value> (OBSOLETE)
Override audio driver/\:card buffer size detection, \-ao oss only
.TP
.B \-ao <driver1[:device],driver2,...[,]>
Specify a priority list of audio output drivers (optionally with device) to be
used.
With SDL 'device' is valid, too, it means subdriver then.
.br
.I NOTE:
To get a full list of available drivers, see \-ao help.
.br
If the list has a trailing ',' it will fallback to drivers not listed.

.I EXAMPLE:
.PD 0
.RSs
.IPs "\-ao oss:/\:dev/\:dsp2,oss:/\:dev/\:dsp1,"
try to use OSS with the specified sound devices and fallback to others if it
fails
.IPs "\-ao sdl:esd"
specify the SDL subdriver

.PD 1
.
.TP
.B \-aofile <filename>
Filename for \-ao pcm.
.TP
.B \-aop <list=plugin1,plugin2...:option1=value1:opt2=val2...>
Specify audio plugin(s) and their options (see documentation too).

.PD 0
.RSs
.IPs "\-ao alsa,oss,"
Try the ALSA driver, then the OSS driver, then others.
.br
.IPs "\-ao alsa:option"
Uses the ALSA driver with a suboption.

Available audio output drivers are:

.TP
.B alsa\ \ \ 
ALSA 0.9/1.x audio output driver.

.B alsa1x\ 
ALSA 1.x audio output driver.

ALSA 0.5 audio output driver.

OSS audio output driver
.TP
.B sdl\ \ \ \ 

If the number of output channels is bigger than the number of input channels
empty channels are inserted (except mixing from mono to stereo, then the mono
channel is repeated in both of the output channels).
If the number of output channels is smaller than the number of input channels
the exceeding channels are truncated.
.IPs format[=bps,f]
Select the format f and bytes per sample bps used for output from the
filter layer.
The option bps is an integer and denotes Bytes per sample.
The format f is a string containing a concatenated mix of:
