ao_alsa ERROR: Unable to open ALSA device 'default' for playback => Invalid argument
/!\ Cannot open audio device.
This looks like a configuration error and from the error messages I can’t tell you what might be wrong. You can try to set debug=1 in your libao.conf and see if it has something interesting to say.
