There are three files:

  libfile.so.0.0.0	is the actually compiled version of the
                        library. The revisions should increase on
                        every new release, even if the library API
                        remains stable.
  libfile.so.0		is the file programs are linked against.
                        the .0 must increase if the API changes.

These two should go into the runtime library package.

  libfile.so		the linker uses this file to determine,
                        which shared version to link to the
                        program. So this goes to -dev (as the *.a
                        static library) because it is only
                        needed for compiling.

Also, pleas use inter-library dependencies to link libao against
esound/alsa. To add or remove support for alsa/esound you only
have to recompile ao and none of the tools libao depends on.

Inter-library dependencies could be specified by adding the
required linker switches to the end of "libao_la_LDFLAGS" in
src/Makefile.am.

P.S.: ao still needs this patch to compile the ao_esd.c file:
