Bug Description
If you select an invalid configuration in the Sound Hardware preferences pane (Like two outputs sharing a channel pair on the same device, or wrong sample rate for a device) click Apply, and see the warning, you can still click OK and Mixxx attempts to use that invalid configuration. The dialog should probably disable the OK button until the error is corrected.

This is a greater problem in the preferences, not just the sound hardware pane. No pane (dlgpref{ eq,sound, ...}) is able to disable the OK button owned by dlgpreferences, or really communicate with it at all in any meaningful way.
Not that disabling an OK button doesn't have huge usability implications of its own, I'd think most HIG groups would find it high treason.
