interesting, i would have done it the other way around: everything but
the hardware should be handled in the patch, as these are the settings
that make the patch load correctly.
the hardware cannot be foreseen by the upstream author, so the user has
to take care of that (they hopefully do know which hardware they are using)

well, the only apple machine i have regular access to, has it's built-in
audio not connected to anything and keyboard/mouse are dislocated from
the machine (separate rooms).
