ao_alsa: use new option API (changes syntax)
This changes how device names are handled. Before this commit, device
names were mangled in strange ways to avoid clashing with the option
parser syntax. "." was replaced with ",", and "=" with ":" (the user had
to do the inverse to get the correct device name).
The "new" option parser has multiple ways to escape option strings, so
we don't need this confusing hack anymore.
Add an explicit note to the manpage as well.
