OpenAL has no mixer API, and I don't know of any cross-platform solution 
for controlling the OS mixer (though that doesn't mean there isn't one).

So, yes you'd probably have to implement OS-specific code to handle this.

I do tend to agree with Chris, though.  The app shouldn't be messing 
with the OS mixer, unless there's a really good reason for it.
