Hi, my only concern with the patch was that it breaks other sources providing plugins for libao. As Ron mentioned on irc there are none such sources in debian so this is of no concern.
I've tested the patch using mpg321 as test application and it works exactly as it should. A strace shows libao opening the right multiarch plugin dir and loading the plugins from the multiarch plugin dir as it should: open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ao/plugins-4", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 stat("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ao/plugins-4/libesd.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10504, ...}) = 0 I checked the Ubuntu bugs for libao and they are not reproducable and all concern earlier versions of libao (although that needed some confident guessing) and do not apply to the mutiarch version. Etienne: Could you please build a patched libao and test zsnes under multiarch to give a second point of reference? I would opt for including the patch before the freeze. If it breaks something unexpected then there will be enough time during the freeze to fix or revert it. It is only a freeze, not a release yet.
