[MPlayer-users] alsa ao setting in .mplayer/config

[stan at saticed.me.uk]

mplayer(1.0pre5) doesn't seem to pick up the following ao setting in my
.mplayer/config

ao=alsa:noblock:device=hw#1.2

I think this maybe due to # being normally used to represent the start
of a comment.  Changing ao_alsa.c to use a % instead of the # seems to
fix it but I dont know if that is the best fix?

Thanks
