Bug#577400: device->internal no longer available

[Richard Kettlewell]

Package: libao-dev
Version: 1.0.0-3

In earlier versions of libao it was possible to write new plugins for 
it, using the interface described at doc/plugin-overview.html and 
doc/plugin-api.html.

However, the contents of the ao_device structure is no longer visible, 
so plugins that store their private data via device->internal can no 
longer be built.  That would be fine if there was an alternative way to 
associated private data with an ao_device, but there isn't.

plugin-overview.html mentions a number of other fields of ao_device 
which plugins are expected to be able to access, e.g. 
driver_byte_format, but they are also invisible.
