It can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/audio?``. Data 16types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including 17``linux/dvb/audio.h`` in your application. 18 19Please note that most DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which 20results in the omission of the audio and video device. 21 22These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented 23in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete 24and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that 25functionality.
