It can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/audio?``. Data +types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including +``linux/dvb/audio.h`` in your application. + +Please note that most DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which +results in the omission of the audio and video device. + +These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented +in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete +and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that +functionality.
