Thanks for the patch. I noticed last week-end that device_id wasn't
working, but didn't know if it ever worked reliably (hence my post to
mplayer-users http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/59082)

I'm not a big fan of using special values to change the behaviour of
an option, such as here device_id=-1, but I'll let others comment on
that before taking any decision.
