"Cross platform code" does NOT mean "the same exact code to save mixer
settings must work on all OS".  It means that the platform dependent
parts (whether to use "alsactl store", or the OSS equivalent, or the
Windows mixer API to save the settings) must be cleanly separated from
the platform independent parts (like the KMix GUI).
