+================
+DVB Audio Device
+================
+
+.. attention:: Do **not** use in new drivers!
+             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``
+
+       -  :cspan:`1` Selects the demultiplexer (fed either by the frontend
+          or the DVR device) as the source of the video stream.
+
+    -  ..
+
+       -  ``AUDIO_SOURCE_MEMORY``
+
+       -  Selects the stream from the application that comes through
+          the `write()`_ system call.
+
+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``.
