You can definite make persistent audio interface

Preferred by whom ?
I can't picture anyone wanting to set anyone else's
audio settings when they send someone else a patch.
I guess you don't work in anything but 44100 sampling rates. I have done projects that use 22050 and 48k, and both won't work right unless the sampling rate is set correctly. Therefore its an essential property of the patch.
I think you two are talking at cross-purposes.
For Audio API (OSS, ALSA, etc.):
You can choose the respective menu item, then set it up in the dialog window that pops up. Click "Save all settings" to... save all settings. Isn't that persistent audio interface settings?
Things I would normally set using the Media Menu: input devices, # of channels, whether or not to use multiple devices, delay.
Things I would set using the Media Menu OR some kind of in-patch mechanism: sample rate
But how would you set audio API, # of channels, etc. in-patch when it
depends on the hardware/software setup specific to that machine?
(Though I guess it could be useful for setting up a lab of 20 of the
same exact computers running identical OSes.)

IOhannes is currently making a 'mediasettings'
library which will make this much easier. Otherwise see get-audio-dialog in the 'hcs' lib.
But how can I edit that in ~/.pdsettings,
~/.pdextended, or whatever it is on whatever platform it is ?
