Bug#492917: python-pyao: parsing arguments 64bit issues

[Philipp Jocham <philipp.jocham@gmx.net>]

Package: python-pyao
Version: 0.82-2
Severity: important


src/aomodule.c uses 's|llll0!sl' and 'i|llll0!sl' as format strings
for parsing the arguments passed to the constructor of ao.AudioDevice,
thus parsing the arguments as 'long int'. 

Whereas the arguments are defined as 'int'.
See /usr/include/ao/ao.h:

  typedef struct ao_sample_format {
      int bits; /* bits per sample */
      int rate; /* samples per second (in a single channel) */
      int channels; /* number of audio channels */
      int byte_format; /* Byte ordering in sample, see constants below */
  } ao_sample_format;

On 64 bit systems a 'long int' is 8 bytes and and 'int' is 4, thus overwritting
other values, when parsing.

Solution: Use format strings 's|iiii0!si' and 'i|iiii0!si' instead.
