This is a bug in the usage() documentation, thanks for reporting it.

Our QEMU machines only generate .ext3 images, so that would explain why
this never got tested. It's still not good that it's inconsistent, so
I've filed a bug to fix that and the above issue:

That's because we're not yet ready to advertise that the audio option is
fully supported, see this bug:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1018
which isn't even slated for work in 1.3, but rather 1.4.
Thanks for these inquiries!
