There are some D3D functions that we export:
AL_FUNC(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9, al_d3d_get_device, (ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *));
AL_FUNC(HWND, al_d3d_get_hwnd, (ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *));
AL_FUNC(LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9, al_d3d_get_system_texture, (ALLEGRO_BITMAP *));
AL_FUNC(LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9, al_d3d_get_video_texture, (ALLEGRO_BITMAP *));
AL_FUNC(bool, al_d3d_supports_non_pow2_textures, (void));
AL_FUNC(bool, al_d3d_supports_non_square_textures, (void));

Maybe those would be useful with OpenGL so we can make them driver-independent.
I still think we should allow the user to specify the driver. There are cases 
when one driver doesn't work correctly and you want to force the other one.

We also have:
ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_OPENAL,
ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_ALSA,
ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_DSOUND
ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_OSS
