Hello,
this is about the very old Debian bug
#216007: libao2: libao driver fails to start on powerpc
I've tested in a powerpc system and I can't reproduce it. Is it fixed
for you in recent libao versions (0.8.6)?
I'll close this bug this bug report on two weeks, thanks.

Package: libao2
Version: 0.8.4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
Latest version of libao2 on ppc makes it impossible to use any player
based on it (like mpg321 or ogg123) because it always gives the error
message :
Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)
Downgrading to 0.8.3-1 fixes the problem. I couldn't rebuild 0.8.4-1
because it has a build dependency on libartsc0-dev which is unavailable.

I've applied the following patch to the oss plugin, and I see that ioctl is
failing with Invalid argument. 0.8.3-1.1 still works though, and the
only difference in the code I can see is the GETBLKSIZE ioctl just
before setting the stereo mode.
