<title>DVB Audio Device</title>
<para>The DVB audio device controls the MPEG2 audio decoder of the DVB hardware. It
can be accessed through <emphasis role="tt">/dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0</emphasis>. Data types and and
ioctl definitions can be accessed by including <emphasis role="tt">linux/dvb/video.h</emphasis> in your
application.
</para>
<para>Please note that some DVB cards don&#8217;t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in
the omission of the audio and video device.

<title>Audio Data Types</title>
<para>This section describes the structures, data types and defines used when talking to the
audio device.

<section id="audio_stream_source_t">
<title>audio_stream_source_t</title>
<para>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.
</para>
<programlisting>
 typedef enum {
	 AUDIO_SOURCE_DEMUX,
	 AUDIO_SOURCE_MEMORY
 } audio_stream_source_t;
</programlisting>
<para>AUDIO_SOURCE_DEMUX selects the demultiplexer (fed either by the frontend or the
DVR device) as the source of the video stream. If AUDIO_SOURCE_MEMORY
is selected the stream comes from the application through the <emphasis role="tt">write()</emphasis> system
call.

 align="char">
<para>This system call opens a named audio device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0)
 for subsequent use. When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready
 for use. The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
 documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the
 semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later
 be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
 of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux
 manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Audio Device in O_RDWR
 mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error
 code will be returned. If the Audio Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the
 only ioctl call that can be used is AUDIO_GET_STATUS. All other call will
 return with an error code.</para>
