Why has ao been changed so that there are now two open() functions ? IMHO the original ao_open() was fine - if you wanted to set the filename for output, you could add an option via ao_append_option and if you wanted to avoid overwriting an existing file, you could stat() it yourself. Having ao_open_live() and ao_open_file() just makes more work for the user of the library for no gain, AFAICT.
