Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);
- The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
drivers and their dependencies;
- The testing drivers now has a separate directory;
- added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;
- The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
making it in good shape.
- Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;
- Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;
- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

TODO: replace it to GFDL-1.1-or-later WITH no-invariant-sections + +.. _audio: + +************************ +Audio Inputs and Outputs +************************ + +Audio inputs and outputs are physical connectors of a device. Video +capture devices have inputs, output devices have outputs, zero or more +each. Radio devices have no audio inputs or outputs. They have exactly +one tuner which in fact *is* an audio source, but this API associates +tuners with video inputs or outputs only, and radio devices have none of +these. [#f1]_ A connector on a TV card to loop back the received audio +signal to a sound card is not considered an audio output. + +Audio and video inputs and outputs are associated. Selecting a video +source also selects an audio source. This is most evident when the video +and audio source is a tuner. Further audio connectors can combine with +more than one video input or output. Assumed two composite video inputs +and two audio inputs exist, there may be up to four valid combinations. +The relation of video and audio connectors is defined in the +``audioset`` field of the respective struct +:c:type:`v4l2_input` or struct +:c:type:`v4l2_output`, where each bit represents the index +number, starting at zero, of one audio input or output. + +To learn about the number and attributes of the available inputs and +outputs applications can enumerate them with the +:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO` and +:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMAUDOUT <VIDIOC_ENUMAUDOUT>` ioctl, respectively. +The struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` returned by the +:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO` ioctl also contains signal +status information applicable when the current audio input is queried. + +The :ref:`VIDIOC_G_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` and +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT <VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT>` ioctls report the current +audio input and output, respectively. + +.. note:: + + Note that, unlike :ref:`VIDIOC_G_INPUT <VIDIOC_G_INPUT>` and + :ref:`VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT <VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT>` these ioctls return a + structure as :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO` and + :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMAUDOUT <VIDIOC_ENUMAUDOUT>` do, not just an index. + +To select an audio input and change its properties applications call the +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` ioctl. To select an audio +output (which presently has no changeable properties) applications call +the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT <VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT>` ioctl. + +Drivers must implement all audio input ioctls when the device has +multiple selectable audio inputs, all audio output ioctls when the +device has multiple selectable audio outputs. When the device has any +audio inputs or outputs the driver must set the ``V4L2_CAP_AUDIO`` flag +in the struct :c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by +the :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. + + +Example: Information about the current audio input +================================================== + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_audio audio; + + memset(&audio, 0, sizeof(audio)); + + if (-1 == ioctl(fd, VIDIOC_G_AUDIO, &audio)) { + perror("VIDIOC_G_AUDIO"); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + } + + printf("Current input: %s\\n", audio.name); + + +Example: Switching to the first audio input +=========================================== + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_audio audio; + + memset(&audio, 0, sizeof(audio)); /* clear audio.mode, audio.reserved */ + + audio.index = 0; + + if (-1 == ioctl(fd, VIDIOC_S_AUDIO, &audio)) { + perror("VIDIOC_S_AUDIO"); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + } + +.. [#f1] + Actually struct :c:type:`v4l2_audio` ought to have a + ``tuner`` field like struct :c:type:`v4l2_input`, not + only making the API more consistent but also permitting radio devices + with multiple tuners. |
