Sounds good to me. libao has often been problematic (#470410, #679826,
this multi arch issue). I actually wonder why it has not been done
before? There must have been an issue with SDL output at a time, but I
just tested and it works on both i386 and amd64 (with multi arch).

A release team "go" is needed of course, but there's usually no
problem when removing stuff :)

Can you take care of this ?

Thanks in advance !
