Garrett,

I haven't been following the discussion about mixer stuff much.
However, general policy: API additions that make sense (I assume yours
do; I haven't checked) are fine, so long as existing code continues to
work (i.e. you can't change existing semantics, API, or ABI).

Filing a bug with your suggested changes to the mixer interfaces,
along with a detailed description of why, is probably the best way to
make forward progress with this stuff.
