I'm not sure. IMO it should be the ao's responsibility to play all
buffered audio at close time if the close is not user-requested.. But
this may lead to worse responsiveness with large buffers. On the other
hand I think it would give better results for making seamless gaps
across multiple files, if something like -fixed-vo were supported for
audio.

Anyway, are you sure this patch is needed with all ao's? Or just a few
broken ones? If it's needed for all, I'm ok with going ahead and
applying it as long as it doesn't break things.
