i agree that this is silly. i also wrote about this some time.

being able to set up a muse-wide (or maybe support profiles?) 
configuration saying "port1=usb-midi-adaptor, port2=timidity, 
port3=softsynth", which is ALWAYS restored, together with a "default" 
port, that is, a port every new track (also imported midi tracks!) gets 
associated with at first. you can still change that.

supporting profiles has the additional advantage that i (who uses a 
laptop and isn't always there where the hardware synth is), can setup a 
profile like "at home", which uses my hw synth, and a profile like 
"away", which uses timidity with the XG soundfont instead. that doesn't 
sound exactly as good, but is a good compromise.

agreed?
