* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstbaseaudiosink.c

like good elements should. Close on READY->NULL too.
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstaudiosink.c
(gst_audioringbuffer_open_device,
(gst_audioringbuffer_close_device, gst_audioringbuffer_acquire)
(gst_audioringbuffer_release): Updates for new ring buffer API,
hook into the new audio sink api.
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstaudiosink.h (GstAudioSinkClass.open)
(GstAudioSinkClass.close): Just open and close the device -- no
resource allocation or configuration.
(GstAudioSinkClass.prepare, GstAudioSinkClass.unprepare): New
vmethods, handle device setup and resource allocation.
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c (gst_alsasink_open, gst_alsasink_close)
(gst_alsasink_prepare, gst_alsasink_unprepare): Update for new
base class API.
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstringbuffer.h
(GstRingBufferClass.open_device, GstRingBufferClass.close_device):
New vmethods.
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstringbuffer.c (gst_ring_buffer_open_device)
(gst_ring_buffer_close_device, gst_ring_buffer_device_is_open):
New API functions. The device should be opened before acquiring
and closed after releasing.
