I felt that way too but, as Miller pointed out, what happens when you use different hot pluggable sound devices? You wouldn't necessarily *want* to save a temporary device each time, that plus the GUI freezes for a bit when you save the preferences. I did enable auto saving for this dialog but it was *pretty* annoying to wait every time you close it.

There are definitely some things to fix regarding consistency, but there are still a few reasons why they don't quite match completely.

This is true for a number of flags such as -path for which I have a fix on Github: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153>
