How about the following:

Index: libao2/ao_alsa.c
===================================================================
--- libao2/ao_alsa.c    (revision 24079)
+++ libao2/ao_alsa.c    (working copy)

     tmp[0] = ',';
   while ((tmp = strrchr(dest, '=')))
     tmp[0] = ':';
+  while ((tmp = strrchr(dest, '+')))
+    tmp[0] = '=';
 }
 
 static void print_help (void)
