There are more problems with Mixer.

I've been getting some deadlocks in the mixer code with games like
http://www.download.com/The-Incredibles-demo/3000-7505_4-10334423.html?tag=lst-0-1.

Blink video uses two threads to smoothly switch between videos, sometimes I'll get a dead lock
where the mixer threads are waiting for another thread that doesn't seem to exist any more. The
problem sometimes shows up in  winmm/time.c TIME_MMSysTimeCallback as a invalid TIME_TimersList,
it seems like something's not being cleaned up properly.

I've got some more notes on the problem kicking around somewhere.

Oliver
