I changed the daemonize call as the fork losts the connection to the
pulse server. According to your remark, the init() method should be
moved to the open() ones.
With the modification, mpd is able to reconnect the pulse mixer after
restarting the pulseaudio daemon.

This patch introduces the mixer for the pulse output.
Technically speaking, the pulse index is needed to get or set
the volume. You must define callback fonctions to get this index since
the pulse output in mpd is done using the simpe api. The pulse simple api
does not provide the index of the newly defined output.
So callback fonctions are associated to the pulse context.
The list of all the sink input is then retreived.
Then we select the name of the mpd pulse output and control
its volume by its associated index number.

[mk: fixed whitespace errors and broke long lines; removed
daemonization changes from main.c]
Both methods are always called together. There is no point in having
them separate. This simplifies the code, because the old configure()
method could be called more than once, and had to free old
allocations.
Return the default value in the conf_get_block_*() functions when
param==NULL was passed.
This simplifies a lot of code, because all initialization can be done
in one code path, regardless whether configuration is present.
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
