+ <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>
