+VIDIOC_G_AUDIO - VIDIOC_S_AUDIO - Query or select the current audio input and its attributes

+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_G_AUDIO, struct v4l2_audio *argp)``
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_S_AUDIO
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_AUDIO, const struct v4l2_audio *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To query the current audio input applications zero out the ``reserved``
+array of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` and call the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_G_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. 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.

+ * - __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". This information is intended for the user,
+ preferably the connector label on the device itself.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``capability``

+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` ioctl), see :ref:`audio-mode`.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``reserved``\ [2]
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
+ the array to zero.

+
+ * - ``V4L2_AUDCAP_STEREO``
+ - 0x00001
+ - This is a stereo input. The flag is intended to automatically
+ disable stereo recording etc. when the signal is always monaural.
+ The API provides no means to detect if stereo is *received*,
+ unless the audio input belongs to a tuner.
+ * - ``V4L2_AUDCAP_AVL``
+ - 0x00002
+ - Automatic Volume Level mode is supported.

+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EINVAL
+ No audio inputs combine with the current video input, or the number
+ of the selected audio input is out of bounds or it does not combine.
