Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libao2

Environment
--
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

Libao version:  0.8.8-2

Notes
--
The Libao man page states for 'default_driver' options:

"The "alsa" driver is for the 0.9.x ALSA API, whereas the "alsa05"
driver is for the 0.5.x API."

Expected Behavior
--
`cat /etc/libao.conf` to contain a valid "default_driver" name that is 
available in the Libao man page.


Actual Behavior
--
`cat /etc/libao.conf` contains 'default_driver=alsa09', which is not listed in 
the man page.  Only 'alsa' and 'alsa05' are listed as available ALSA drivers.

The man page provides conflicting driver names for versions of Alsa.
This can provide particularly useful information to users looking for
temporary workaround to Bug 55973
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arts/+bug/55973) in arts.
Though the bug is filed as an Arts bug, it affects many audio
applications include mpg321/123, ogg123, Gaim, and likely others.
