Since Core Audio and Direct Sound currently ignore this parameter, the 
dropdown really shouldn't be shown at all in these cases. If you set up 
something more complicated for runtime, like scanning /proc/asound, 
I'll contribute code to list and use any of the connected devices on OS 
X.

For the mixer settings in the Core Audio case, there's no master vs. 
PCM division, so the "PCM Mixer Volume" and the independent muting 
checkbox are the only relevant settings from that section.

Isaac mentioned that he'd accept patches to move settings.pro flags to 
configure, and I was planning to try that (starting with the audio 
settings, coincidentally) as soon as I got the chance. Over this 
weekend, I hope to build a patch for the defines to be in config.h, 
instead of any .pro file.
