Hello,

As far as zsnes is concerned, I will upload a package removing
zsnes:amd64. Whether zsnes:i386 will be installable or not will then
only depend on #638741.

If zsnes really is i386-only, then that seems like the best answer to me.
It's not really blocked on libao being converted - at least not in the
sense that it will need further changes after it is, or can't change until
it is.

I only took over libao a few weeks ago, and I'm not really any more keen
to relocate all its files on the eve of the freeze than I was to do that
just a couple of weeks before it. I don't know if anybody else has done
a proper audit of this to be sure there will be no problems with its
plugins - a cursory glance seems to indicate they'll probably be ok, but
I'm far from being certain enough about that to do a "beat the freeze"
upload making this change.

This one had gone on my "worry about m-a for wheezy+1" list - when m-a
itself is hopefully a little more settled and some of its intrinsic
problems might actually have solutions. I might push one to experimental
in the meantime if there is real call for it - but I think it's way too
late to be experimenting with this in wheezy release candidates now.

Cheers,
Ron
