60 <para>To query the current audio output applications zero out the
61<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-audioout; and
62call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer
63to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
64&EINVAL; when the device has no audio inputs, or none which combine
65with the current video output.</para>
66
67 <para>Audio outputs have no writable properties. Nevertheless, to
68select the current audio output applications can initialize the
69<structfield>index</structfield> field and
70<structfield>reserved</structfield> array (which in the future may
71contain writable properties) of a
72<structname>v4l2_audioout</structname> structure and call the
73<constant>VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT</constant> ioctl. Drivers switch to the
74requested output or return the &EINVAL; when the index is out of
75bounds. This is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the current
76audio output attributes as <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT</constant>
77does.</para>
