media: docs: uAPI: dvb/audio: completing the documentation (data types)
The existing documentation of the legacy DVB Decoder API was incomplete. Revising the documentation, adding missing parts and arranging the documentation files new. This patch contains the documentation of the data types defined in audio.h.

See: :ref:`legacy_dvb_decoder_notes`
|

|

The DVB audio device controls the MPEG2 audio decoder of the DVB
|
||||
hardware. It can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/audio?``. Data
|
||||
types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
|
||||
``linux/dvb/audio.h`` in your application.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that most DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which
|
||||
results in the omission of the audio and video device.
|
||||
|
||||
These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented
|
||||
in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete
|
||||
and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that
|
||||
functionality. Use :ref:`V4L2 ioctls<audio>` for new drivers!
|
||||
|

|
||||
Audio Data Types
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
This section describes the structures, data types and defines used when
|
||||
talking to the audio device.

- ``AUDIO_SOURCE_DEMUX``

or the DVR device) as the source of the video stream.
|

- ..
|

Description
|

~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The audio stream source is set through the `AUDIO_SELECT_SOURCE`_ call
|
||||
and can take the following values, depending on whether we are replaying
|
||||
from an internal (demux) or external (user write) source.
|
||||
|
||||
The data fed to the decoder is also controlled by the PID-filter.
|
||||
Output selection: :c:type:`dmx_output` ``DMX_OUT_DECODER``.
