I'd *really* like to know how many cards can't read their own
volume, as it seems pretty stupid to me. IMHO that is a hardware
error and we should ignore it and put in sensible defaults for the
volume reading, or return -1.

If we had volume reading it would be fine.

Perhaps because their is only one function right now?
Anyway, I'm not sure a full blown mixer API would be useful -- after
all, Allegro is a games library.
