Loadable modulesin A4 were rather simple. Our alsa module is just
another .so file which is linked against alsa. Allegro then on startup
tries to load it. That's it. What was complicated was the way to locate
our module .so files, and all the build options to support building
without modules.

Why having modules at all? We use dozen of ALSA functions, and that's the worstcase. That could easily fit in a list of functions to load, like we do withOpenGL extensions, but in a cleaner way.
