True. But I just leave it to Autodetect usually :)

I guess then that if the add-on needs to be installed, one should
install the Allegro mixer, and not the DX one. But then, where does
AUTODETECT come in? Should it use the H/W accelerated one, or should it
use the Allegro one, to work with potential add-ons?
