Yes, the ffmpeg options system is basically self-documenting:

$ ffmpeg -h full

It doesn't always say what these defaults actually imply. Sometimes
it's just "-1" = "default behavior".

If it's relevant and not obvious, the actual default behavior should be
mentioned in the docs. If it isn't feel free to ask and/or file a
ticket.
