Actually from how I understand the code you should always get what you 
setup as "Preferred device".

In case you have "default" as "Preferred device", it should select the 
MT32 Device if MDT_PREFER_MT32 is set, EXCEPT you have setup the MT32 
Device as "default", which marks it as non-present currently (when I 
understand the code right at least).

I noticed some other strange bits though: When I overwrite the subtitles 
speed in a game, just take KYRA with its built in menu, I correctly get 
"Override global audio settings" displayed in the "Edit Game..." dialog. 
Now all devices do not default to the "system default" but to "default" 
(note that a "default" here does not use the settings setup in the 
"Options" menu), thus if I click "OK" in that dialog, it will just 
overwrite my audio device settings and thus I will(/might) get different 
audio output. That's rather annoying behavior in my opinion :-/.
