Drivers fill +the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device +has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video input. + +Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To select the +current audio input *and* change the audio mode, applications initialize +the ``index`` and ``mode`` fields, and the ``reserved`` array of a +struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` structure and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` +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. + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. c:type:: v4l2_audio + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_audio + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``index`` + - Identifies the audio input, set by the driver or application. + * - __u8 + - ``name``\ [32] + - Name of the audio input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for + example: "Line In".
