    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the current audio input applications zero out the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-audio;
and call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDIO</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
&EINVAL; when the device has no audio inputs, or none which combine
with the current video input.</para>

    <para>Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To
select the current audio input <emphasis>and</emphasis> change the
audio mode, applications initialize the
<structfield>index</structfield> and <structfield>mode</structfield>
fields, and the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a
<structname>v4l2_audio</structname> structure and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_S_AUDIO</constant> ioctl. Drivers may switch to a
different audio mode if the request cannot be satisfied. However, this
is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new audio
mode.</para>
