Patch for adding float pcm playback support

Issue:
alsasink not supporting FLOAT pcm playback.

Root Cause:
In gst-plugins-base-1.8.3/ext/alsa/gstalsa.c function "gst_alsa_get_pcm_format"
 switch case not added for FLOAT 32/64 pcm.

By adding the switch I am able to play the float PCM files.

Steps to verify:
With the fix audioconvert is required.
gst-launch filesrc location=<ogg file> ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! alsaink
With fix audioconvert not required.
gst-launch filesrc location=<ogg file> ! decodebin ! alsaink

I have attached the fix as patch.

I have verified the patch for FLOAT 32LE/64LE formats

Thank you
