It would be nice if the area was ifdef'd to OSS_VERSION >= 0x040004. Also the
_modify_{bg/fg} functions are not available in GTK1.
The attached patch adds ifdefs, a poll for number of mixers (so if a new
mixer is added to the system, ossxmix displays it automatically), and a bit
of cleanup.

(a naming note:) I suggest the mixer API shouldn't be tied too much to the way
the mixer program should display the controls. Maybe someone will want to
write a curses-based mixer? Such a program could not use tooltips, but it
could use a status bar. We could call this "description support" or something
like that.
