That documentation seems to be (to me) for users of the command line
tools, who wouldn't be able to use this command message interface.
That said, its the best/only place in the documentation where the int
could be documented. Would something like an extra section after
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#Examples-2, titled for example
"Libavdevice user notes" be what you have in mind?

Thanks,
