[vorbis] libao 0.8.4 released

[Stan Seibert]

(Hi, this isn't exactly vorbis related, but I figure most of you use
libao with ogg123.)

Libao 0.8.4 has been released today.  It's mostly a bug-fix release, but
has some new drivers too!  We've also moved libao to it's own website:

http://www.xiph.org/ao/

Source, RPMS for RedHat 9, and Debian packages are there.  Enjoy!

Changelog:
* Incorporated OS X patches from the Fink team.
* AIX output plugin by Stefan Tibus.
* Improvements in plugin detection code by David Walser, especially when
ESD or aRts are present.
* NAS plugin from Antoine Mathys.
* Portability fixes for various platforms (including dlopen() bugs)
including HP-UX and *BSD.
* Memory/resource leak fixes
* Significant fixes to ALSA 0.9.x plugin by Kevin Cody, Jr. This should
fix stuttering audio for mpg321 users. The --enable-alsa09-mmap option
to ./configure turns on memory-mapped I/O. Note this is an experimental
feature and causes some problems with some sound card drivers and also
users of the dmix software mixer.
