It's the default behavior, which is usually better selected by not setting
device_id.
I considered leaving the non-negative constraint for device_id but opted to
remove it since it is a little easier to use the option for GUI frontends or
shell scripts this way.
You can also look at it this way: -1 does not change the behavior but rather
means: "not set - use default"
But I don't feel strongly for allowing this special value. I can change it
back to the way it was, if that's preferred.
Greetings
Adrian
