Subject: ALSA: use plughw rather than hw for manually selected output

ALSA: use plughw rather than hw for manually selected output

plughw provides transparent userspace format conversion if needed.
That is much safer. In fact, I doubt VLC would support all raw hardware
drivers - some have rather weird format requirements.
