System Information
Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.2
Graphics card: Nvidia Titan X (Pascal)

Blender Version
Broken: ecd086ac32, 2019-03-06. 03:53

Short description of error
When setting any sound preferences in the User Preferences, Blender ignores then and defaults to OpenAL Soft on the next startup.
Starting blender with -noaudio also exhibits the same behaviour, while starting with -setaudio (and a corresponding option) causes a hard crash when accessing the sound preferences.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Set system > sound user preferences to anything other than "OpenAL - Soft"
Save User Preferences
Restart Blender
Sound is once again set to "OpenAL - Soft"

I fixed both issues.

The crash was caused by using an invalid name (correct would be Null, not NULL, capitalization matters).

Also note that if you use -noaudio or -setaudio this is not reflected in the user preferences which still shows the user preference stored device (even though it's not used) and allows to change it (won't be effective though until blender is launched without these flags).
