It looks like this package is empty on x86, but contains documentation 
on x86_64.

I guess this is perhaps because some tool used to build documentation is 
present for the x86_64 build, but not the x86 build (in which case, you 
might want to consider adding that tool to DEPEND so you get told about 
that a build time?)

See https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libao.html

The documentation exists for x86 as well, it's just in the libao4 
package for x86.

The packaging is different for x86 and x86_64 for historical reasons 
only. I'll change the x86 packaging to match the x86_64 structure and 
upload new packages shortly.

David
