this is because you have updated to a driver that accepts multiple
devices of the same kind :)

approx. in august i patched "mixer" to accept a -f argument to
select a specific soundcard, and added the "=rec" command to set
a specific source (the default behaviour is/was to add/remove a
source, but since some cards only accept exactly one source at a
time and in case of error the mixer defaulted to 'mic' the other
commands were useless..

> PS: Why do I needed to use mixer(8) and not xmmix or the like ?

so, we are at this point... people feel compelled to apologize for
using a command line interface instead of a GUI ...
