Drivers fill 41the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device 42has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video input. 43 44Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To select the 45current audio input *and* change the audio mode, applications initialize 46the ``index`` and ``mode`` fields, and the ``reserved`` array of a 47struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` structure and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` 48ioctl. Drivers may switch to a different audio mode if the request 49cannot be satisfied. However, this is a write-only ioctl, it does not 50return the actual new audio mode. 51 52.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.5cm}| 53 54.. c:type:: v4l2_audio 55 56.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_audio 57 :header-rows: 0 58 :stub-columns: 0 59 :widths: 1 1 2 60 61 * - __u32 62 - ``index`` 63 - Identifies the audio input, set by the driver or application. 64 * - __u8 65 - ``name``\ [32] 66 - Name of the audio input, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for 67 example: "Line In".
