There's no default listed because there's no default when you use the
-audiodev options, since there's no good default.  When you don't use
-audiodev, it'll use the implicitly created audiodev which doesn't have
a name, so it can't be specified.  But I agree that this situation
should be documented somehow.

It's the same story as wav_capture.
