12 VIDIOC_G_AUDIO - VIDIOC_S_AUDIO - Query or select the current audio input and its attributes
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_AUDIO, struct v4l2_audio *argp )
21 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_AUDIO, const struct v4l2_audio *argp )
29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
32 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio`.
38 To query the current audio input applications zero out the ``reserved``
39 array of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` and call the
40 :ref:`VIDIOC_G_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill
41 the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device
42 has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video input.
44 Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To select the
45 current audio input *and* change the audio mode, applications initialize
46 the ``index`` and ``mode`` fields, and the ``reserved`` array of a
47 struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` structure and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>`
48 ioctl. Drivers may switch to a different audio mode if the request
49 cannot be satisfied. However, this is a write-only ioctl, it does not
50 return the actual new audio mode.

55 .. c:type:: v4l2_audio
57 .. flat-table:: struct v4l2_audio
64 - Identifies the audio input, set by the driver or application.
67 - Name of the audio input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
68 example: "Line In". This information is intended for the user,
69 preferably the connector label on the device itself.
72 - Audio capability flags, see :ref:`audio-capability`.
75 - Audio mode flags set by drivers and applications (on
76 :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` ioctl), see :ref:`audio-mode`.
79 - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set

93 * - ``V4L2_AUDCAP_STEREO``
95 - This is a stereo input. The flag is intended to automatically
96 disable stereo recording etc. when the signal is always monaural.
97 The API provides no means to detect if stereo is *received*,
98 unless the audio input belongs to a tuner.
99 * - ``V4L2_AUDCAP_AVL``
101 - Automatic Volume Level mode is supported.

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