Regarding libao, there's #638741 requesting it to be converted to
multiarch. That seems to be the only real obstacle to installing
zsnes:i386 on amd64, since the other dependencies are already
multiarchified.

Probably ia32-libs-dev is going away in wheezy already, making zsnes
unbuildable on amd64.

As maintainer of such a biarch beast (ncurses), I very much hope that
this will happen. Getting rid of zsnes:amd64 would be a small step in
that direction.
