ao_alsa: try to fallback to "default" device if device is busy
ALSA is crap. It's impossible to make multichannel playback just do the
right thing. dmix (the default on most distros) can do stereo only, and
will refuse to play multichannel. On the other hand, if you try like mpv
(and mplayer) to open a multichannel device (like "surround51" etc.),
this will actually open a hardware device, which will either fail if
dmix is active, or block out dmix if opening succeeds.
This commit falls back to "default" (i.e. dmix) if opening a
multichannel device fails, which is a tiny step towards the right
behavior. (Although fixing it fully is impossible.)
