Package: libao2
Version: 0.8.8-1
Severity: normal

As of 0.8.8-1 libao contains a pulseaudio plugin, previously available
separately. This causes errors if you already have libao-pulse:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libao2_0.8.8-1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libpulse.so', which is also
 in package libao-pulse

A Conflicts/Replaces on libao-pulse should fix this.

It should perhaps also have a Suggests: or something on libpulse0; or
perhaps pulseaudio should Recommends: libpulse0, or there should be
some other way to ensure that if a user has libao2 and pulseaudio installed,
they will probably have libpulse0 (hence the ao-pulse plugin will work).
