OK, then, very well. I guess we'll just have to tell users to expect
big changes in audio filter chain behavior between 0.90 and 1.0.

BTW, though, about the order you described above.. With the code I put
in to make the vorbis decoder output float, libao was being
initialized with AFMT_FLOAT even when -format was specified. Isn't
this incorrect?
