ao_alsa: make failure of buffer parameter setting non-fatal

These calls actually can leave the ALSA configuration space empty (how
very useful), which is why snd_pcm_hw_params() can fail. An earlier
change intended to make this non-fatal, but it didn't work for this
reason.

Backup the old parameters, so we can retry with the non-empty
configuration space. (It has to be non-empty, because the previous
setters didn't fail.)

Note that the buffer settings are not very important to us. They're
a leftover from MPlayer, which needed to write enough data to the
audio device to not underrun while decoding and displaying a video
frame. In mpv, most of these things happen asynchronously, _and_
there is a dedicated thread just for feeding the audio device, so
we should be pretty imune even against extreme buffer settings. But
I suppose it's still useful to prevent PulseAudio from making the
buffer too large, so still keep this code.
