I just had someone email me with a similar problem.  The API for 0.9.0 is
different than 0.5.11.  I can't find any documentation on 0.9.0, so I'm
assuming that it is still a moving target, whereas 0.5.x is "more stable".  
I'm reasonably sure that libao will compile with 0.5.11.

As for being unable to disable the ALSA pluging, that *is* a bug, and I'll get
working on it as soon as I finish my History of Japan test.  :)
