62	<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-audio;

64	to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
65	&EINVAL; when the device has no audio inputs, or none which combine
66	with the current video input.</para>

74	<structname>v4l2_audio</structname> structure and call the
75	<constant>VIDIOC_S_AUDIO</constant> ioctl. Drivers may switch to a
76	different audio mode if the request cannot be satisfied. However, this
77	is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new audio
78	mode.</para>
