ao_alsa: simplify, remove no-block suboption
If no-block was given, the device would be opened with SND_PCM_NOBLOCK.
Also, after opening, blocking mode was unconditionally enabled anyway
with snd_pcm_nonblock(). Further, if opening with SND_PCM_NOBLOCK
failed, opening was retried without this flag.
This doesn't make any sense to me, and I've never heard of someone using
this suboption. I suspect it has to do with ancient ALSA bugs or API
caveats. Remove it and simplify the code.
