    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the current audio output applications zero out the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-audioout; and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
&EINVAL; when the device has no audio inputs, or none which combine
with the current video output.</para>

    <para>Audio outputs have no writable properties. Nevertheless, to
select the current audio output applications can initialize the
<structfield>index</structfield> field and
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array (which in the future may
contain writable properties) of a
<structname>v4l2_audioout</structname> structure and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT</constant> ioctl. Drivers switch to the
requested output or return the &EINVAL; when the index is out of
bounds. This is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the current
audio output attributes as <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT</constant>
does.</para>

    <para>Note connectors on a TV card to loop back the received audio
signal to a sound card are not audio outputs in this sense.</para>
