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 ` 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 ` 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".

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. .. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.6cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{8.7cm}| .. _audio-mode: .. flat-table:: Audio Mode Flags :header-rows: 0 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 3 1 4 * - ``V4L2_AUDMODE_AVL`` - 0x00001 - AVL mode is on. 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 ` 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.
