From 6.4.1+ the multimedia pieces are available thru the aviage multimedia
product suite. There was a release note to this effect as part of 6.4.1:

Multimedia TDK 1.0.1
 	QNX SDP 6.4.1 doesn't support Multimedia v1.x. Applications that depend on
Multimedia v1.x will no longer resolve symbols or execute under 6.4. For
multimedia support, you need to install the QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite. (Ref#
55967)

mixer is part of the audio product so it will still be available where as the
others are not.
