When assigning a mixer, we will iterate through the entire list looking for
a suitable match.  This results in selecting the last match.  We should
stop at the first match, since lower numbered mixers will typically have
more capabilities, and are likely to be what the bootloader used, if we
are looking to reuse the bootloader config in future.

So I ripped this out and retested as I was looking back at it.  Things
still work.  I probably saw a need for this in the middle of my
hacking, but its clearly not needed anymore so lets drop it for now.
