Hi,

I suggest to change the Mix_ChannelFinished callback (or add a new appropriate one if API compatibility is a must). The patch below changes the callback to also carry a void* argument, so that C++ objects can be supplied, and thus C++ can utilize the callback.

This is a good idea, but needs to wait for a breaking ABI rev

Having userdata in callback would be great not only from c++ POV.
But, you can use this in c++ even now by utilizing std::bind and some more magic. See https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist/blob/develop/src/Audio/Mixer.cpp#L154 for example.
