Config file hook system? I'm not quite sure what that is since I never 
bothered with them.

The DX mixer is currently the only one that doesn't use Allegro's mixer, 
AFAIK. If anything, the DX mixer should be considered a hack since it 
bypasses Allegro's mixer completely. A simple call to _mixer_init in the 
DX mixer init function, and to _mixer_exit in it's exit function, and 
it's as good as done. Or if you want, I can also make another mixer 
function that just sets the internal mixer params, but doesn't 
initialize anything: _mixer_set_params.

It's nothing the programmer needs to be concerned about, since as far as 
they'd be aware nothing would be different (everything behaves as expected).
