+ <para>To query the current audio input applications zero out the
+<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-audio;
+and call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_AUDIO</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 input.</para>
+
+ <para>Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To
+select the current audio input <emphasis>and</emphasis> change the
+audio mode, applications initialize the
+<structfield>index</structfield> and <structfield>mode</structfield>
+fields, and the
+<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a
+<structname>v4l2_audio</structname> structure and call the
+<constant>VIDIOC_S_AUDIO</constant> 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.</para>
