AudioDevice() gets a segmentation fault

[svanheulen]

What is expected to happen:
Return a valid AudioDevice object.

What actually happened:
Python interpreter quits with a segmentation fault.

The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen:
Open a terminal, run python, and enter the following two lines
import ao
dev = ao.AudioDevice('alsa')

It appears that pyao is incompatible with the installed version of libao. The "ao_sample_format" struct in libao now has a variable called "matrix" that pyao does not deal with.
