I also found out why GetMixFormat fails on my system (Kubuntu 10.04).
OpenAL returns Pulse Audio as the default device, but pulseaudio
daemon is not running (I removed the pulseaudio package from my
system).

MMDevEnum marks the pulseaudio device as the default one (for both
render and capture), but alcOpenDevice / alcCaptureOpenDevice fail so
the device is marked with state DEVICE_STATE_NOTPRESENT and
openal_setformat is never called (which is the function responsible
for writing the DeviceFormat registry key, used by GetMixFormat).

A proper fix for the failed GetMixFormat test would be to fall back
MMDevice_def_play / MMDevice_def_rec to the 2nd, 3rd, etc device from
the default device list, and eventually to the first good device that
is found (if all devices from the default device list fail). Is this
OK?
