Two bugs here led to a large number of interrupts being generated on the
sound card when ALSA output is being used. Because we specify no default
period_time, the sound card gives us 3000 interrupts/sec rather than a more
sane 20 or 30. This completes the revert of dd7711 already started by
4ca24f.
The larger bug was in the change to config_get_block_unsigned() and using 0
as the default value for both 'buffer_time' and 'period_time'. This means
any pre-setting of these options in newAlsaData() gets wiped out. Add a new
default for period_time, and ensure default values for buffer_time and
period_time are used if none are provided by the user.

[mk: set defaults in newAlsaData() to fix auto-configuration; renamed
"_MS" back to "_US" because ALSA expects microseconds, not milliseconds]

This patch tryes to introduce pluggable mixer (struct mixer_plugin) along with some basic infrastructure (mixer_* functions). Instance of mixer (struct mixer) is used in
alsa and oss output plugin
Commit dd7711d8 removed MPD's default ALSA buffer_time. The result
was a buffer size which was way too small for playing streams on some
sound hardware, and caused skips and distorted sound. Revert the
default to 500 ms.
