Drivers fill +the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device +has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video input. + +Audio inputs have one writable property, the audio mode. To select the +current audio input *and* change the audio mode, applications initialize +the ``index`` and ``mode`` fields, and the ``reserved`` array of a +:ref:`struct v4l2_audio <v4l2-audio>` structure and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_AUDIO <VIDIOC_G_AUDIO>` +ioctl. Drivers may switch to a different audio mode if the request +cannot be satisfied.
