    mixer(8): Allow full PCM device names as input for the -d option
    
    The -d option is a wrapper around hw.snd.default_unit. Currently
    mixer(8) expects the option argument to be just the unit's number (e.g
    pcm0 -> 0). To avoid confusion, allow full device names of the form
    "pcmN" as well.
    
    While here, improve the -d option's description in the man page.
