29 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
37 To query the current audio output applications zero out the ``reserved``
38 array of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_audioout` and call the
39 ``VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill
40 the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device
41 has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video
44 Audio outputs have no writable properties. Nevertheless, to select the
45 current audio output applications can initialize the ``index`` field and
46 ``reserved`` array (which in the future may contain writable properties)
47 of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_audioout` structure and call the
48 ``VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT`` ioctl. Drivers switch to the requested output or
49 return the ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of bounds. This is a
50 write-only ioctl, it does not return the current audio output attributes
51 as ``VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT`` does.
55 Connectors on a TV card to loop back the received audio signal
56 to a sound card are not audio outputs in this sense.

70 - Identifies the audio output, set by the driver or application.
73 - Name of the audio output, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for
74 example: "Line Out". This information is intended for the user,
75 preferably the connector label on the device itself.
78 - Audio capability flags, none defined yet. Drivers must set this
82 - Audio mode, none defined yet. Drivers and applications (on
83 ``VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT``) must set this field to zero.
86 - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
93 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
94 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
95 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
98 No audio outputs combine with the current video output, or the
99 number of the selected audio output is out of bounds or it does not
